Just for information, an owner can build his own house without a contractor's license. Owner can take out the building permit; just tell the building department that you will be the gereral contractor. That rule applies just about anywhere I believe. Also, an owner can be his own sub and do most specialties that are usually hired out. I've done it recently at the lake. Yes, you can build for $125/ft and I've seen some in the Ridge that were built for less than $125. Landscaping, seawall, and dockage, excluded.

Getting what you pay for is a very over used term. Don't sub out any job without receiving at least three bids from qualified subs. Hiring a "well known" sub without comparing his price is asking for trouble. I've only met one sub I would hire "by the hour", and that was 28 years ago. My two pennies.
