This spreadsheet is simple to use, but delivers powerful, fast results - summarizing cost, giving you a Gantt chart schedule and generating a step-by-step checklist that walks you through when to order material, when to hire subcontractors, and more! It includes a cash draw schedule.
You can save 30%+ of the cost of your home by managing the construction of your home yourself. Or if you hire a general contractor to build your home, you can understand more about how your home is being built, and the material selections being made so you can ask your GC to use materials you select rather than builder's grade for the items important to you. Also, you can estimate the percent the GC is making on your project to make sure you are okay with his profit margin.
This course shows you how to use this spreadsheet.
