Still , if a builder puts custom design house for 1 mln and cover those expenses AND turn a profit , why should not a person do those same things and end up with a cheaper (20 -30%), higher quality houise ?
I know people that have done it.
What are we paying the builder for : knowhow ? knowledge how to navigate through county/city laws net, ready product that we are too lazy to put together ourselves?
I am surprised that people that saw through the bubble and are waiting on the sidelines , are not willing to take a step further!
I did not say it is simple , however it is closer to making a meal that say building a bycicle. On one you can make it yourself from raw ingredeints cheaper that the institution (much higher quality) while the other is cheaper to buy than to make.
Dealing with the city is its own issue which has to be researched in details
