Can an Owner Builder Really Save Money Building Their Own Home?

  <p> YES, that is the resounding answer, YES, YES, YES. Owner Builders can and do save money on building their own home. How? Well really it is quite simple. Be committed, be organised, communicate well and do you homework, both figuratively and literally. Lets take a look how. Be organised, set up a system before you start to record everything you do, establish a wish list and a to do list. Look for pre established systems that can help you. Is there a construction diary that suits your needs, does your advisor, mentor or an associate have access to pro forma such as reports, registers, schedules and forms that would be appropriate for you to use during your project? They are around, you just have to look for them. </p><p>
