The Owner-Builder Book: How You Can Save More than $100,000 in the Construction of Your Custom Home, Third Edition review:
4 stars (good book... a bit redundant but provides good overall advice) - This was the first contracting book that I read. Since then I have purchased and read a few more that were recommended in this book. The book drives home the fact that planning is critical and give great tips to help you organize your plan. After reading this book, if you still think you want to be your own GC. I would suggest reading "The complete Guide to Contracting your Home". It gets more into the technical aspect of each phase of construction.
3 stars (Not a bad book to read.) - I was happy after reading this book. Concepts well laid out.
4 stars (good book on business side , not technical though) - I got this book with the author's autograph on it. I enjoyed reading it. It primarily teaches you how to manage the project, although it does not really go into the technical side of building a house. But, what is the most important thing of the building project ? it is the management right I guess. Overall this book is useful if you have not done it before.
