I have built 3 houses acting as my own contractor. I highly recommend that approach. Managing about 17 subcontracts, ordering supplies, finances, and dealing with problems is a lot of work. I once estimated that building one myself would take me about 10 years. As my own contractor it took about a year. If you are serious about being your own contractor, find an adult education course on the owner-built home and take the course repeatedly until you are done.
