We are building a BARNDOMINIUM. Brian and I acting as our own general contractors. This is our first and hopefully last time doing this but I have been asked so many questions from people about the process so I thought I would share our process along the way. Plus, I wanted a way to document all we did for our own records.
***DISCLAIMER - I am not an expert on anything. I am completely new to all of this and learning as I go. But thought I would share so others looking to build have some resources.***
FIRST order of business - get organized! I have a Trapper Keeper (yep, the old school three ring Velcro binder complete with laser beams shooting across the front). I have put tabbed dividers in there for everything:
- Soil Test
- Septic Permit
- Building Permit
- House Plans
- Inside Builder contract
- Outside Builder contract
- Concrete contract
- HVAC
- Electric
- Propane
- Internet
- Water/Well
- Painting
- Soil/Rock/Dirtwork
- Survey/Property Deed
- Bank Info
- Appliances
SECOND create a spreadsheet for budgeting. I have linked a copy of what I used (this link is for a Google Sheet that will force you to create a copy so you aren't editing my copy).
This sheet already has the formulas added. I left my breakdown of items in just so you can see a sample of a list of items to include.
