special-trade-contractor and building departments

So we all need a little help with our projects.

***Building Departments***

House Floor Plan Basic plans for getting started.

Permits Permit requirements and application examples.

Blueprints Blueprint models and requirements.

Foundations Description of foundation requirements.

Subfloors Floor joists placement and subfloor.

House Framing Walls, roof, windows, and door framing.

Sheathing Covering walls and the roof.

Stairs Stair construction and estimation.

Windows and Doors Placement of windows and doors.

Plumbing Plumbing essentials and techniques.

Electrical Electrical diagrams and installation.

Vinyl Siding Basics on siding installation.

Roofing Types of roofs and installation methods.

Heating Types of heat systems and ductwork.

Insulation Information and sizes of insulation.

Drywall Hanging and taping drywall.

Finish Work Basics of finish work.

Home Network Running and terminating comm cables.





These are the departments of contractors. If the homeowner can do any of the work instead of hiring it out, he or she can save a lot of money on home loans and mortgages.

By doing all the construction systems, you can save up to two-thirds on the cost of the home. That makes all the effort a worthwhile project.

For the rest of your life, you'll receive benefits in the form of lower monthly payments and extra equity for using in emergencies or investments or whatever you want.

Any contractor will charge right around $200 per hour. That's what your own sweat equity is worth.
