Becoming Own Building Contractor

Image
It has been 10 weeks of contructing an extention of my house and hectic days of making sure the construction went smoothly. Purchasing cement, brick, sand, steel, window, door, electrical, painting and looking at blueplan is really interesting. I plan the new lobby and my working room fresh from my Samsung Note 10.1 and looking how it developed into something real and working. I just cant imagine how to construct multi storey building with no mistake and on schedule. It surely need a lot of management skill.
