Building a kit home this summer

[tikicarver]

We used JET Builders, but Sam Berg was on our shortlist. I remember he had a good quote, too, and was very responsive by email.

But we're still waiting for the power hookup from HELCO, so not done yet...

One question I have about the process, did JEt Builders find the plumber and electrician for you, or did you get them?

I'm going the Owner Builder route for an addition I'm planning and one thing that seems odd to me, the Planning dept says I need to list who the Licenesed Plumber and Electrician will be when I send in the permit application.  But knowing it can take months to just get the permit and them probably not ready for them for few months more, how do you get a guy to sign up to do your project 6- 8 months before you will be ready to use them?  By then they might have other jobs that pay more so they are not interested any more.
