If I'm buying a house and discover that the owner built it all by himself, I would immediately begin looking elsewhere.

- AdamTReineke 9y agoDepending on where you are, that's what building codes and inspections are for. They make sure everything is done correctly.
- coryfklein 9y agoThey will ensure that the life-saving features of the home have been accounted for, but building codes don't account for some guy's weird opinion about which way a closet door faces, whether there are enough power outlets in a room, or if the final kitchen layout makes any sense. Most professional home builders are really organizations with checks and balances against making bizarre decisions that may go unchecked when a single dude has ultimate control over the construction, floor plan, and whatever other minor details may drive me nuts after living there 12 months.
