About the DVDs:
This step-by-step analysis of the self-contracting process also focuses on the specialized building methods and custom materials used to construct a high-end home. We pay special attention to the planning process, giving plenty of attention to selecting building plans and design ideas; choosing and surveying a lot; arranging financing and insurance; securing contracts and lien waivers and working with the lumber yard materials estimator. We also take a look at some of the product choices available today such as timberframing and structural insulated panels; the use of "healthy" building techniques and recycled materials; laminated beams and engineered lumber joists; foundation waterproofing systems and options for windows and doors. Finally, we walk you through the final inspection process and note some commonly missed items.
