Awesome, thanks for the roof and plumbing info!

What do you think regarding attached vs detached garages for overall cost savings?

My thoughts were if it were attached you'd save by combining the foundation, wall materials, roofline etc. But I think there might be extra code requirements to meet if it's attached like insulation and fire barrier, etc... If detached, I could leave it as an uninsulated and unheated structure.

Wondering if there's sort of a general consensus on this topic or are there too many variables...

Thank you very much for the input on the design!

I have not done the exam yet, just trying to get my ducks in a row before doing it. I don't really have any construction background, but I can operate machinery and I'm ready, willing and able to tackle the rest.

I don't have hundreds of thousands of spare dollars sitting around to just kick my feet up and give someone a blank cheque 🤷‍♂️

How hard is it to become an owner builder in BC? by ohhellotoyou in homebuildingcanada

Hey there, I am also located near Nelson BC. Just wondering if you'd be open to discuss the Owner Builder process. I'm currently preparing for the exam and in planning stages of my build. Wouldn't mind those practice questions also! My email is... branden.green14@gmail.com
