How Can I Be My Own General Contractor
How can I be my own general contractor when undertaking a home renovation project? There are a number of good reasons why you would want to do this. But, first, ask what are the pros and cons of taking on this role.
The potential to save a significant amount of money is most likely your chief motivation. The savings, when you do this well, can be avoiding paying for a General Contractor’s overheads and expected profit margin. You can also save by buying your own materials, appliances, and supplies.
If you are asking the question, “How Can I Be My Own General Contractor?”, then you probably have not done this before and should go into this venture with your eyes wide open.
What Skills Do I Need?
The skills of a project manager are what you need and are essential to being your own general contractor. Many of these skills you already have from your own life or working experience. Good communications, cost control and scheduling are skills that everyone has to some degree.
A project manager coordinates and balances the daily demands of time, cost, and quality, always keeping the end result of delivering quality as the primary objective.
That said, if you have never done a renovation before, you do not know what you don’t know! Without experience, you are likely not able to anticipate the mistakes and problems that will occur the way someone who does this every day for a living can. However, you can learn it.
A Unique Solution
Peter Glaw of Premier Quality Renovations has written a book based on his 40 years of experience in the renovation industry. The book is not all that Peter has created. He has developed a complete and unique concept to make sure that you will succeed.
How To Be Your Own General Contractor
Its As Easy As 1-2-3
Do buy and read the book but the keys to the Premier Renovations Concept are the two additional services that complete the concept and make it truly unique.
The Premier ACCESS Card and the Consulting Services complete the concept.
The reason Peter Glaw added these two services to his overall concept is explained in this comment on page 57 of his book
“You could never learn to fly from reading a manual alone; you need someone guiding you as you take control of the airplane and actually fly the plane. Similarly, if you tried to be your own GC with only book learning as training, you’ll likely run into problems”
The Premier Access Card
The access card was created to address the main disadvantage of being your own General Contractor. You have no network of existing and proven subcontractors or of wholesale sources of supply.
