I decided the best way to approach the construction is to be my own general contractor. It's called "owner-building" your home. This way, I'll have direct control over the budget and the quality of the work. After some research, the best resource I've found is called The Owner-Builder Book. It's a fantastic guide and workbook that walks you through the process.
Owner-building will allow me to shop for bargains and act in my own interest. Like I said, I'm a perfectionist. And I'm going to enjoy seeing that things are done right. Or course, I know nothing about building a house or the right way to build it. So I've been drowning myself in books on house design, construction and construction management. And I have my mom who is also a perfectionist. Only, she's been around longer and has seen the difference between good and sloppy construction. So I'm learning all around.
