Owner Built Strategies

[hpp4me]

We're looking at several packaged home providers (although we're leaning toward one in particular). I'm curious about the various building strategies. It seems like there are three approaches:

1. Owner oversees all aspects of construction.
2. Use a general contractor.
3. Hire a nonlicensed project manager to supervise the project.

For us, #1 is out. We don't know enough about construction to do this.

What are your thoughts on using a general contractor versus a talented project manager?

Also, has anyone found a project manager who is good? What do they charge?

Thanks!
