Home building is about managing people and processes.
The same holds true for major remodeling projects.
Those with the best management and organization skills are the most successful in getting what they want and avoiding problems.
But trouble still lurks around every corner.
Question: As an owner builder remodeling my own home, how do I make certain that I don't make a major and costly mistake? Answer: One costly mistake can undermine your whole project.
Owner Builders are looking for adventure and a great experience, yes, but they are also looking for savings.
Don't allow that big error to blindside you and rob you of your savings.
As I advise in so many other of my writings and speeches, I suggest that you get the best professional help you can afford.
Even Owner Builders who take some control of their own projects need to get this help.
It's All About Professional Personal Advice The number one strategy I advise is to hire a Home Building Coach.
Home building and remodeling are complicated processes that demand well-prepared processes and excellent execution of those processes.
This is something most people cannot fully provide on their own.
This is where an experienced Home Building Coach can work wonders! The "Coach" will bring that strategy and provide personal guidance to help you execute step-by-step processes and act as your trouble shooter to steer you clear of disasters.
There is no Perfect Home Building Process You're not looking for perfection per se.
Home building and remodeling are fluid processes that require many people to perform over a long period of time.
This will surely result in mistakes and delays.
But, when you prepare well, get a good coach, and stick with the plan, you're far more likely to get more of what you want, save money during the process, and have the time of your life.
And, you'll avoid that one big costly mistake.
