Acting as your own general contractor means overseeing the project management side of construction—hiring contractors, scheduling work, and keeping the project on track. You’re in charge, but you don’t have to do the hands-on labor yourself.

Absolutely not. While some basic understanding of construction terms and processes is helpful, our step-by-step guides and resources are designed to make the process accessible to anyone.

Most residential projects are suitable, from kitchen remodels to building an addition or even a custom home. However, the same concepts even apply in commercial construction and can be implemented just the same.

We provide detailed guides, tools, and resources to walk you through the self-GC process, from start to finish. This includes tasks like how to find contractors, create schedules, and manage budgets.

You’ll get step-by-step instructions, contractor checklists, budgeting templates, and scheduling tools—all designed to simplify the process.

On average, project owners save 15-25% of the total project cost by acting as their own GC, depending on the project scope and location.

Mistakes happen in any project, even with professional GCs. Our guides are designed to minimize errors by helping you plan effectively and stay organized. Plus, if something goes wrong, we provide resources to help you resolve it.

Our platform offers tips for vetting contractors, reviewing their credentials, and asking the right questions to ensure you’re working with reliable professionals.

Acting as a self-GC is a time investment, but it doesn’t mean working 24/7. With proper planning and delegation, many users find it manageable even with a full-time job.
