Contracting a home is one of the easier projects a do-it-yourselfer can take on. We're not talking just about the "build with your own hands" type project, most of us would be ne er finish. Rather, self-contracting involves hiring professionals (subcontractors or "subs") to really do the majority of the labor. Your job is fundamentally a general contractor who coordinates everything to do with building the house. All self-contracting requires is nice organization and folk skills. If you can call folk on the phone then you can save yourself thousands of dollars.
