Shell Builders

Hi Carl,
Would you have any information on the approximate percentage of cost to get an average house just framed with the roof on, and to get it to the lockup stage?
Thank you, Gordon


Yes Gordon, read my article on shell builders.

Most likely, your savings as an owner/builder will be cut in half. But, everything has a price (and a value).

And here's an excellent video that explains the role of a shell home builder that is from Pierson-Gibbs Homes for the Owner Builder.
