While your home is being built in ProBuilt’s facility, your other subcontractors complete site work such as excavation, foundation, well and septic system, thus saving you time and money.
We offer homeowners the opportunity to save thousands of dollars over the cost of site-built homes by empowering them to manage the modular building process themselves.
What does being your own Project Manager entail?
Being the Project Manager, also known as the General Contractor, means that you are in charge of your own project (and that’s a good thing!). If you want to save serious money and don’t mind organizing, planning schedules and making phone calls to follow up, then this is a job for you.
You may prefer to hire a professional project manager to oversee on-site completion of their new home. A General Contractor will usually charge a percentage of the project’s cost.
