For budgetary reasons it is becoming clear (or perhaps it has been clear for a few weeks now) that we are not going to go with a Builder to Project Manage the project. We simply don't have the money to pay for their oversight. Between Joey and I were are going to try and manage it.
Which is too bad because we have met some very capable folks who would be great to work with and would most likely do a great job. Unfortunately we have some to this conclusion after asking a few groups to put time and effort into quoting for us, it is a necessary evil but it is still hard to have the conversations with them while knowing that we are not going to work together.
Having said that, the one possible way in which we might work with one of these groups is to hire A) just their underpinning/foundation guys or B) have them build to the drywall and then we take over from there. In the latter scenario if would be left to us to do flooring, painting, fixtures, trim and baseboards etc. But these are easier trades to manage and savings would surely be found.
We need to make a call on this soon, 2 weeks tops.
Stay tuned.
