Finding a General Contractor Articles

	Being Your Own Contractor If you are considering acting as general contractor instead of hiring one, there are some excellent resources to use.

	Choosing a Contractor It should be stated at the outset, that most custom home contractors are reliable, honest individuals. The very few who are not, have created an image well beyond their real numbers.

	How to Get Bids Unless you have plans of being your own general contractor, you will need to find a contractor or builder to build your house. This is one of the biggest decisions you will have to make so don't cut corners on the time it may take to thoroughly research and then obtain bids from several different contractors.
