Tip
Unsuccessful Owner Builders try to cut corners on the building materials, they do not compare ‘apple v apples’ and go for the cheapest, which is not what is the most suitable for the job required, screw down the sub-contractors on price, so they rush to finish the job and the short cuts the take, come back to affect the quality of the job in years to come.
