After you have received your building permit you can get started building your new home.
Depending upon the complexity of your project, the building of your new home can take anywhere from 3 - 12 months on average. If you are an Owner/Builder, you're the boss. You are acting as the General Contractor. As such, you are responsible for the success of your project. Owner/Builders hire licensed contractors to do whatever work they have chosen not to do themselves. Most Owner/Builders choose to work with contractors referrals from their local PMHI representative. However, Owner/Builders are not required to work exclusively with contractors from the PMHI representative's contractor referral list if they have someone else they would prefer to use. During the building process is when Owner/Builders find the help of their local PMHI dealer to be the most valuable. Your local PMHI representative is always available to help with questions along the way. During the construction phases you should take pictures showing the progress of the building project. This is done for two reasons. First, it is a way to remember the details of the construction process and to show your family and friends. Second, you have a record of where the utilities are located in the structure. This can be especially helpful if you want to make sure not to put a nail into any plumbing, gas lines or electrical cables behind the sheet rock when hanging a picture on the wall.
