Great article, as usual!

I think you hit the nail on the head with being your own GC. If time, know how and interest is there there is a huge savings that can result.

Another option is to frame, and plumb everything but leave some areas, 2nd floor, basement, attic/loft space unfinished and finish it off at a later date.

Building our home myself, here's a possible tip: use this <a href="http://www.4feldco.com/" rel="nofollow">Wisconsin window installation</a> company to install the windows. I tried doing it myself but had the measurements all wrong, and had to call someone to fix my mistakes.Good Luck man, wish you the best!

There is nothing more satisfying than helping build your own home. Your dad's connections are priceless! @ Chris – Good luck with the build.

I'm in the process of building a second home right now and we are actually doing most of the things you mentioned. The only exception would be the 2 story home (we don't want stairs). My father is the general contractor\lead carpenter which is saving us a ton of money. He has great relationships with subs and suppliers. I'm building on a lot that was once owned by my grandmother. It has mature trees and a finished lawn. As far as sweat equity goes, I'm going to be helping out with the roof this weekend. I don't expect to sweat too much since it will be 20 degrees :) Nice list. I’m in the process of building a second home right now and we are actually doing most of the things you mentioned.

Just my opinion of course!
