Hahaha Bone, congrats but I sense you haven't had a house built from ground up before. Let me tell you, the fun hasn't even begun. I did this nutty thing myself when we lived in LA. Fucking contractors will promise you the world for completion dates. Bunch of BS lying cocksuckers. From start to finish it was a fricking nightmare dealing with all those idiots. What was supposed to be finished in 6 months took a year and a half to actually get done. They got a million excuses and blame it on supply delays, waiting on other contractors, crew not showing up, etc. etc. All sorts of crap.
Of course a lot depends on how far you're going and what type of materials. Stick to basics and watch out for the high end custom crap, like fancy imported Italian marbles and all that. We had our marble guy for example fuckup with a miscalculation on the amount he needed and we ended up with mismatched marble as a result.
I would never build a custom house again after my experience.
