Besides the cost savings, I love having the satisfaction of knowing my wife and I built our own home. I’ve been self-employed since retiring from the Air Force 23 years ago but had never been a home builder. I knew many people in the construction world and loved being able to bring them into the BGCH system for my house. Another “pro” for being my own General Contractor was never charging myself for any of the “change orders” made during the build. And I love the training the Built Green system offers! I was able to move into my new home with at least a $70, 000 equity because I managed the construction myself.
