Is it easier to buy or build a house?

• <div><p>Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-hire-general-contractor-build-my-new-home.htm">right team to build a home</a>, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.</p></div>

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>

Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

• <div><p>Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:</p><ul><li><p>Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom</p></li><li><p>Replacing plumbing pipes</p></li><li><p>Installing or repairing septic systems</p></li><li><p>Running new electrical wiring</p></li><li><p>Installing a subpanel</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
