Contracting a home is one of the most challenging projects a do-it-yourselfer can take on. We're not talking about the "built with your own hands" type project -- although that sounds fun, most of us would never finish.
Rather, "self-contracting" involves hiring professionals (subcontractors or "subs") to actually do the majority of the labor. Your job is basically a general contractor who coordinates just about everything to do with building the house.
Self-contracting requires good organization and people skills as well as a basic understanding of the work being done by all your subcontractors.
