Can I Be My Own General Contractor?
Show Notes

We often get asked by potential clients, if they can be their own general contractor. 

Our answer: Do you have previous building experience? 

In this episode we sit down and discuss when it is a good idea and not so good of an idea for clients to act as their own GC. We reveal the biggest challenges that people face when trying to be their own builder and why hiring a professional general contractor is the best option in most cases. 

Breck also shares insight to why he hired his own builder, despite having years of experience in the field. 

Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: 

  • Can you be your own GC?
  • Why banks limit a client's flexibility. 
  • What is a sworn statement and why you need it.
  • The level of involvement a general contractor has in a project.
  • Breck's project Highlight Of The Week: Blackridge Farms (coming soon)
