#WalkThrew: How to Manage Homeowner GCs and Lead Designers

When a homeowner GCs or takes on a lead designer role, it might sound like a great way for the homeowner to save money and take control of the project schedule so it fits inside their busy lives. But, is it really a help and money-saver when a homeowner takes on a general contractor role? Or is it an expensive headache for everyone?

On 10/25 the #WalkThrew home chat is spotlighting homeowner general contractors (GCs) and homeowner interior designers who partner with pros to complete major remodeling projects at home. We’re talking additions, basements, bathrooms, and kitchens.

#WalkThrew chat questions

1. Have you worked as a homeowner GC? Or as a pro who has worked with a homeowner GC (or designer)? If not, would you?

2. What are the potential benefits and pitfalls?

3. What are the red flags for professionals when a homeowner wants to ‘save money’ and ‘help’?

4. How can homeowners step out of their lane and successfully GC (or design) with remodeling subs on a kitchen or bathroom?
