We were not the first Owner Builder Center, that one originated in Berkeley California in the 70's. In 1982 Skip Weahunt started teaching for the Berkeley organization at Salono Community College. In 1984 Skip purchased the rights to open an independent Owner Builder Center in the Sacramento area and began by teaching classes at the Sacramento State College. The class was an immediate hit with full capacity classes for a number of years. As the services offered by the Owner Builder Center expanded it was decided to begin teaching classes at our own offices rather than at the College.
Over the years, thousands of people have attended and been trained to successfully build their own homes, even with little to no experience. The Center's gone through many changes over the years so in case you are interested in knowing I will cover some of those changes. Skip Weahunt is living in Suisun and applies for a teaching position at the Solano County Community College to teach a house building class. The College had contracted with the original Owner Builder Center from Berkeley California to offer the class.
This book will take you step by step through the building process discussing costs, scheduling and dealing with subcontractors. Beyond the building and remodeling portion of this text, you learn about the contracts (sample included), mechanic's liens, stop notices, the different lien releases and when to use them. This book is based on the Building Code standards. There is a chapter dedicated to how a construction loan works and the insurance requirements that lenders accept. This book is written by an active custom home builder and is a realistic guide for any potential owner builders who are looking to do the work themselves but is especially helpful to the person who wants to act as their own contractor.
