Customer Reviews

Very Helpful book....

This was a great purchase that I made based on other reviews. I am using this as a template for our new construction. I would recommend this to anyone interested in building with or without a general contractor. It gave me the confidence (this and 2 other books-see my other reviews) to general our home. Make sure you order the latest edition (5th, I think). I read the reviews and all the reviews were under both the 1st and 5th edition. I have both...dont make that mistake.

Great Book!

Be Your Own House Contractor: Save 25% without Lifting a Hammer I have read several books on this subject. This one offered the best information for the beginner. I would recommend this book for anyone considering building their own home.

Be Your Own House Contractor

Very up-to-date publication. Author's web site provides much additional information. I plan to build using ICF's and Geothermal heat source. Good information available through both the book and the web portal. Clearly the best and most current of the 4 similar books purchased at the same time.

A MUST for new home builders

This book really opened my eyes as to how much was involved in building/being your own contractor. The author obviously speaks from experience.

Great tips

This book contains a lot of great tips and serves as a good resource.
