Synopsis
You don't need to depend on (or pay) a general contractor to manage your construction project. Whether you're building a new home or renovating an existing one, you can manage the job yourself. Carl Heldmann outlines how to purchase your own land, set a reasonable budget and schedule, describe your needs and vision to an architect, and hire subcontractors to do the actual building. Cut out the middleman and save as much as 25 percent on your beautiful new home!, This book should be required reading for anyone who is thinking about building or renovating a house. The savings involved can make the difference between just dreaming about that dream house and actually building it. The primary message behind "Be Your Own House Contractor" is " You can do it!" According to construction expert and author Carl Heldmann, anyone can oversee the building of a house and save up to 25 percent by acting as the main contractor. This popular book has sold over 268,000 copies since it was first published in 1982. Written for those with little or no experience in the building trades, "Be Your Own House Contractor" clearly and simply lays out the steps involved in home construction and answers the many questions that arise. Concise chapters deal with: - Locating and purchasing land - Procuring financing - Estimating costs and staying within a budget - Hiring subcontractors and finding suppliers - Building the house - Restoring an existing structure An extensive appendix contains examples of the forms, certificates, and permits that are required, as well as sample contracts and plans. The 5th edition has been fully updated and includes Carl Heldmann's new Web site, where readers can get loan information, daily updates on interest rates, and cost estimate worksheets for planning and tracking building expenses. Other new features include new chapters on renovating and restoring an older house and a Spanish glossary of common building terms., This book should be required reading for anyone who is thinking about building or renovating a house.

With his sound advice, readers can act as their own house contractor and save a quarter - or more - of the cost of building a home. And without picking up a hammer! Heldmann explains each step of the home building process in non-technical, easily understood language, helping readers avoid the pitfalls that plague general contractors, even experienced ones. Readers will learn how to develop house plans, establish schedules, select good subcontractors, identify cost-saving options, negotiate contracts, estimate building costs, purchase materials and supplies, and much more.

- n***i (234)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThis book' condition was listed as "good," but it actually could have been listed as brand new, making it an especially great value! There is no sign that the book was ever opened. It arrived within the original delivery window, in spite of a conflicting, and erroneous, email this morning saying that the arrival date had been delayed. All in all, a very smooth transaction. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again. Thanks!Bridge for Beginners : A Step-By-Step Guide to Bidding, Play, Sco (#276844152851)
- i***r (41)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaI bought a hardcover copy of Smoke Bitten. The listing noted that it could be a library copy, and that it would take 5 business days to come. It came in 3 business days (+wknd was 5 days total) in an envelope, and was a library copy. Bc I knew it was a discard, I was anticipating rough condition, but it was in very good condition, with only one small ding on the front cover. For the price I paid, I am very happy with the book and the service. I would buy from this seller again.
