I've decided to self-perform as GC on my first ground up dev project.

7 townhouses, a $3M build.

I know I'll take some bruises.

1 piece of advice on how to minimize risk?

@berkie1 We're going through such a fascinating moment in housing history. Exciting stuff

[Max Hebert @MaxCHebert]

@berkie1 Can we just start with getting that one from Boston to Northampton back?

[Max Hebert @MaxCHebert]

Reminder to myself when I physically market these condos:

Please multiple senses.

✅ Visually stunning.
✅ Temperature monitored.
✅ Classical music playing.
✅ Yankee Candle burning.

@bobbyfijan I love the appliance size debates. Recently put in an 18" dishwasher and going to use more often.

@hanslorei "Nice wide grout" and it actually is nice. First time I've ever heard that/seen it.

This is why we follow Hans.

@Chad__Belcher Yes, first ground up project. Steep learning curve but moving forward confidently.

@JohnJBlatchford @moseskagan Thanks John, likewise with yours.

@JohnJBlatchford @moseskagan We're trying in Northampton, Mass.

City is well organized and pro-housing.

We get Bostonians and New Yorkers that want more space but can drive to the city 1x/week if necessary.

@_specofdirt 1 - build more wiggle room into the budget to allow me to bring on additional help.

2 - spend more time reviewing schedule with all involved (working on this for the remainder of the project).

[Max Hebert @MaxCHebert]

@sweatystartup ...and for that reason, I'm out.

[Max Hebert @MaxCHebert]

@gmhogan8 Thanks.

Many challenges:
- delays with utility companies.
- sub coordination and communication.
- inexperience with sitework and foundations.
- gaps in budget.

Onward and upward.

First snowfall not slowing these beasts down.

Foundation pours underway.

Current: this beautiful faux brick look, covering real brick, naturally.

[Max Hebert @MaxCHebert]

This is why I keep buying New England duplexes with 100 year-old wallpaper and knob & tube, despite that each time I close, I want to crawl into a hole.

If you find something that works:

Keep chopping wood until it stops or you're rich.
