What type of home projects benefit from project managers or general contractors?

• <div><p>It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-hire-general-contractor-build-my-new-home.htm">hiring a general contractor to build a house</a>, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.</p></div>

Q: Can any house be called a cottage?

• <div><p>The term &ldquo;cottage&rdquo; is subjective, so there&rsquo;s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a carriage house and a townhouse?

• <div><p>A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. </p></div>

Q: Do you get a builder or an architect first?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.</p></div>

Q: Is a structural engineer the same as a builder?

• <div><p>No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.</p></div>

Ground breaking was timely; framing went along pretty well, but then it started to go bad. There were many days, even though the weather was good, that there was no one at site. Trash was left all around the building site and only now has been removed after numerous calls and emails. There...

Simple. Contractor came to a meeting exactly on time (second time he was late but called and said he would be so). He worked well with my wife and me, and offered valuable suggestions regarding our projects. We have hired him on two occasions and have found the work to be exceptional.
