Can I inquire about the construction experience you guys had before you began building your castleblock homes yourselves?
My first house was a rather simple 24x24, built with my Dad's help when I was still single. My Dad was an electrical contractor, so I grew up in that environment. Probably any house I've owned has had a remodel done on some scale.
That said, I agree with Pete, more muscle than skill. I purposely hired labor to take direction from me as I knew pretty much there wasn't a deep pool of ProTec experienced builders available.
As for plans, wife and I designed our place. When time came, Rob put me in touch with a local plans drawer who eventually produced stamped plans and county permit. Rob converted the plans into a map for the various panels. Our house is essentially 4 standalone boxes: 2 @ 21x42, 1@28x42, and 1@24x42. We started the first wall last week of June and all 4 boxes were roofed by 15 Sep.
