Why the owner/builder program
Build a true custom home without paying a traditional custom-builder markup.
CMGWA helps organize the lender-ready budget, competitive trade bids, project schedule, documentation, selections and key milestones. You retain control over contractors and finishes—and you may complete approved portions of the work yourself to create additional sweat equity.
- One flat $25,000 project-management fee
- Two to three competitive bids per trade when available
- Budget, schedule, bids and documents organized in Owner Build Manager
- Choose your own properly licensed and insured contractors

Planning estimate: Build-cost and savings figures are preliminary examples for ZIP 98611—not bids, appraisals or guaranteed prices. Land, unusual site work, utility extensions, purchased plans and local engineering or permit fees are not included. Final cost and savings depend on the property, design, selections, trade bids, market conditions and work performed by the homeowner. Compare with similarly specified custom homes with upgraded finishes, not standardized production homes.
