Building from smart to finish
Ready, set, think : how the savvy owner starts a project
The plan is the thing : making a successful project
Design as a noun : refining and conveying your vision
Help with your vision : when and how to employ an architect
Bang for the buck and the sixteen divisions : what can you have and what should you worry about?
: cost estimating and the budget
Setting up your deal : contract structures
The second oldest profession : selecting and working with a contractor
How long can they go? Bidding the project
Cover your assets : Contracts, insurance, liens, and other commitments
Believe it! Time really is money : schedules
Mother, may I? Getting through the permit process
Ready to build? Not so fast : pulling it all together
Let the games begin : managing the construction phase.
