In order to reduce costs (and because I like the work) when I build a new house next year I'd like to do plumbing and electrical. I've discussed it with a general contractor that is building new homes in our neighborhood and who will be bidding for the job, he is okay with it as long as I get my own permits - I've done the service entrance and the garage wiring under permit.
My question is this: I'm just wondering if there is anything I need to be aware of with structuring the construction loan for the work being done by the contractor. I'm expecting to not be able to fund materials for the DIY work.
The existing house is not actually going to be completely demolished, a 10x10 room is being kept at the back of the house, and this is where the electrical service entrance is... There will need to be new water, sewer and gas connections (These would not be in the scope of my DIY plans)
