Looking at building my own home (In Northern Maine) - I can do just about All of it However , having done a number of foundations i understand all of what involved but moreover the labor is crazy if i do a full on basement I Like the idea of pier and beam over a full on basement and opting for a large garage and moving the utilities to that br The Building plans i'm looking at are VERY simple 1600 sq ft house , The framing - finish part i'm extremely confident in my ability to do it Solo , minus maybe getting the roof started ill probably need a second pair of hands br The BIG intimidation part of doing this is dealing with local code enforcement , not that i'm worried about following code Just the red tape of dealing with figuring it all out when it comes to stuff like finding out how solid the ground is and will i have to hire an engineer , the land i'm on was OBVIOUSLY graded to be built on , will i need new soil samples ect ? there is a pole already on the property as if to run electricity to a once existing home Our current 900 sq ft house on the same 55 acre property is supplied by a well , will i be able to use that well ? br In short it's all these obscure details that make me understand "WHY" contractors make what they make it's nerve wracking when it's your property and iv debated on just fixing this house and expanding it but the basement concrete is very decayed , the sill around the house is horribly rotted , previous owner decided to make a 70 inch exit from the basement no big deal right ? well , the main beam to the house is centered over the super sketchy header to that custom basement exit but it gets even better , the floor joist BREAK 60 of the way TO the center beam on both sides nailed to a center floor joist So the amount of work repairing this house Basement ALONE , has pushed me in the direction of building new

It's crazy to hear you use the price of 200k and see the video is only 3 years old It's amazing how much the price of homes has short up in that short time period

As someone planning to move to the US soon, I've decided to try to be my own builder/ GC The green card process is so ridiculously backed up right now, I won't be able to work in my field for at least a year properly (people don't really like hiring someone who may or may not be approved to be a legal worker every 12 months) I figure I'll use that time to save some money and build my own home while my wife continues her job Based on my calculations, we'll be able to have a 200k home for 100k, and I'll know every step of the way was done to my standards and in a way I know how to maintenance
Comment from : Liam Fox

Great video - Thanks'brI'm surprised you didn't include how much more is saved by not paying interest on the money they didn't need to borrow That is also substantial, and makes it even more motivating to owner build
Comment from : Dan Zarlengo

So glad I found this channel
Comment from : Chad Rose

I built a tiny house first to get all my processes figured out Next I’ll be building a 1,500 sq ft home After that I hope to rinse and repeat every two years

Going to build our home how do I find subs and what order does everything go
Comment from : RvBadlands2015

Thanks for video Why you don't mention anything about real estate seller profit margin? It can be up to 20 as well I guess if you do DIY building you safe on that as well

That’s exactly right! We are building our own home in Montana and face mistakes every day See our channel : youtubecom/c/RedemptionRoad

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! brbrCome to HIM Today Much love!
Comment from : Rey Ban YAHUAH

And you can save more like 60 , if you do most of it with your own labor Of course you are breaking that up between self labor and subs so seems 30 sounds legit
Comment from : Scott Giet

This is in line with my own plans I only need the contractors to help build the house shell This consists of foundation (concrete), walls (ICF but only need the concrete work done), roof, plumbing coming into the house brAt 1200 sqf, it’s not the biggest place, but big enough

I wish I had paid more attention to my dad when he was building homes!
Comment from : Tim Wright Sr

Also it is who you know I have friends that are professional painters, carpenters, plumbers and drywall I don’t expect them to work for free, but would save a ton of money Also father in law does tile and flooring
Comment from : Carlos

What if you aren’t a carpenter, electrician, plumber, mason etc? I’m an engineer, but I work on analytical lab equipment How difficult is it to learn everything?
Comment from : Super Hiro

I’m a furniture builder and have built several decks, so I’m thinking about doing the framing myself I’m just looking to build something pretty modest, a little bigger than a traditional cabin
Comment from : Bruce Courtney

Great intro tho
Comment from : Honest review

Got a family full of framers as I’m one myself , and most of my spouses family is either experienced in electrical or plumbing

Comment from : Alexis Greene

That cool that you are honest and I would say do not use ubuildit for anything it would be better to just let a contractor do it all
Comment from : iwantosavemoney

very great info that way make good quality house and save money, cheers
Comment from : sarvarz jjatt

Interesting - what are the other items that the new home builder need to know that has to be done so s/he could be the self-contractor How do they start? so many questions
Comment from : David Aragon

If you hire subs, don’t you ever pick up a tool ever! because “you have experience” you’re going to slow down work progress while making the workers actively avoid you and slow down work don’t watch or be around talking so we don’t fell bad having to to be loudbrGive us workers our respectable space, this goes before covid and that, don’t bother the workers
Comment from : Mark Johnson

Solid Video I've framed homes for 10 years and built a few customs as well It's not for everyone, but for those prepared for a challenge can certainly build homes themselves Videos like this helpnmake that possible!

I like it I don't not kill trees you can use dead trees are dead trees you can use That why we can die without living trees
Comment from : Coach SMITH

Prices have gone up so much in the last year alone (for both supplies and labor) relative to wages (which for many have not risen much if at all) that I wonder if the paradigm that you save more by contracting out the work is outdated It's getting to the point that the average person cannot afford to have a custom built home We anticipated about $380K for our build when we started last year After recently bidding everything out it came in at $580K (for a little over 3,000 sq ft 3 bd 25 ba home) But our qualifying remains at $400K We have already taken a ton of economizing measures (almost perfectly square footprint, build vertically, cutting more extravagant things, etc) We are looking at eliminating a garage and bonus room and it is still going to be close Meanwhile a couple bidders have already told us that their costs and prices are going up By the time we actually break ground, our reduced home is still going to be nearly $600K And we are not in a high cost area It's very frustrating

Seriously paying 500k plus for a home is just stupid even if I could afford it it's just simply out of the question These people sheesh
Comment from : Jesus Arreola

I literally just want a front door , a bedroom and a bathroom some windows and a 1 car space No trim designs or any of that I don't need a kitchen because they make tiny butane stoves
Comment from : Jesus Arreola

i agree, im a home theater tech, some people REALLY think by people like me and more seasoned skilled people like yourself giving tips will put us out of work guys thats not the case, i know how to do automotive work but i still pay someone to do it for me we will ALWAYS have work so trust me, when someone like this man is giving infomation just take it
Comment from : ProfHaterade

If you're out there reading this just know you can do it!! Your gonna fail in this process but it's okay as long as you get back up💪 Your gonna lose some money,do things a few times over, cuss probably, and pray alot!! Keep going you just need perseverance and patience!!! Jesus was a carpenter so when it gets tough ask him for help Good luck and God bless!!!!!
Comment from : Travis Jackson

Some of those are SUPER LOW numbers
Comment from : LightGesture

Thinking of moving from my parent's home to somewhere not in Socal where it's 100f normally, and building my own home, ideally in a small town in the woods I've never been physically adept, but I've done each of the required skills individually on several small to medium projects with my father But spending 20k on building my own home and doing everything minus the electrical grid stuff, and saving money is a great Idea as even a tiny 4 walled home the size of a small apartment room in California still costs 200k, any larger, explodes to 500k easily
Comment from : Zyxal Wyrvern

Man the framing and roofing is half the fun of building a house, you better believe I'd be doing that myself too (full disclosure though, I do have experience doing all these things) If it was my project the only things I'd sub out would be the concrete, the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and drywall

Is it difficult to finance an owner builder construction loan? Would banks require bonding for the build?
Comment from : Debdavis808 Davis

How can you draw the money from the bank if you act as GC to your own house? They bank wouldn’t let you draw any money unless they see the progress!

Comment from : Holly Ehlers

Very informative! Currently planning on contracting my build next year myself, having the closed shell built and waterproofed, perhaps icf, with of course electrical and plumbing, and the rest by myself maybe with some sub contracts when needed I’m pretty handy I think, and like to learn Will also mill or have milled some of my own wood for the project, for sidings, trims, the nice stuff I expect huge savings on the thing, 1700sqft on one story on slab, so easy work

Comment from : Etheric Ozone

If you study how to do things and get the building codes there is no reason the DIY guy can’t do the plumbing, most of the electrical, the drywall, appliance installation I did those and saved over 50k

You also forgot about the Real estate commissionI think about 6 to your real estate agent on a $200,00000 house (if you bought the same house completed)

Is it worth it to buy land and build on new land or buy an existing home and tear it down and rebuild?
Comment from : rusty spoons

im 17 and dont know what i want to do in life im graduating this year and i was planning on working 60 hours a week over the summer to save up to start building my own house big enough for 4 people I was going to get used materials and cut my owns trees for wood Do you have any tips on what i should be doing now I have no experience other than finishing my basement in my current house Is it even possible for me at 18 to build a house big enough for 4 people?
Comment from : Gnsair

Is it possible to get a loan to build a home with you doing everything yourself? I'm an electrician with some prior carpentry experience so I'd be doing most of the work myself I'm a veteran so I qualify for the VA loan but I think you need to use a GC to use their financing
Comment from : Alejandro

I want build my home ,I am a person who likes to find a way to save money Thank you for the information Thank you so much
Comment from : juanita rds

I wish there was a 3d design i could just get for the framing that tells me exactly the measurements and other info I want to do all that you mentioned myself and plus the framing and drywall
Comment from : F K

if I am not a contractor do I need a special permit to build my own home?
Comment from : Ignacio Anaya

Do you have to have any sort of licensing in order to act as the general contractor on your own home?
Comment from : Nathan Davis

I see here that you mentioned some of the savings you give yourself if you do the manual labor yourselfbrbrMy question is, if you had someone who has worked as a sub/handyman that knows most of the individual aspects of building a house, but has never been a contractorbrits theoretically possible to save a lot more money by doing more of the physical labor yourself right?brIf we had someone to guide the work? we could get more DIY work done?brbrLike framing for example, or electrical/plumbing
