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 require?
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.
