I built my home in 1989.Final cost was about 60% of what a contractor had ask to build it.BUT,so much homework has to be done to save any money in the long run.You will have to get your plans of course and study them close for material estimates.A good building supplier will be able to figure your material using the plans also.But you need to be able to look at those plans and be able to understand them yourself.This will help you not only in the labor itself but,also in purchasing the material.That way you can shop for the best price and quality and not be tied to only one supplier.Or you might be able to buy from one supplier.But you do need to know exactly what you want and need.Also you will be dealing with,dirt men and concrete contractors for the footing,masons for the foundation and/or brick work,drywall hangers and finishers,electricans and plumbers,roofers and heating and air people.I was lucky as i had a friend who was a homebuilder that recommended some of these contractors to me and it worked out well.But if you have no one to help you it can be a pill to get good reputable contractors who do good work at a reasonable cost.All this takes time and careful research.Things have changed so much in the years since i built that i doubt that i would want to go through it again.I can remember working 10 hr.shifts on my regular job and coming in to work on the house at night.You have to take all this into consideration also.But if your determined and driven you can make it happen.And you can save some money.But you need to do everything that you can possibly do yourself.And you need to be around while the subs are working to be sure what you are getting from them.I can tell you from experience,its no walk in the park.Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
