Title: How to Be Your Own General Contractor by Following The Pat Fay Method.

Why hire a GC when they are charging twice what home construction should cost.

OUR MISSION
To teach homeowners how to save serious money in how they manage their home construction projects from a new house to a complete remodel or major addition to their existing home with high quality finishes WITHOUT a general contractor. Today (2024) the cost of a new 3,000 square foot (sf) standard house is approximately $400/sf if you use a general contractor in most major American and Canadian cities; it should be $200/sf. Cost savings potential is 3,000 sf x ($400-$200) = $600,000. Serious money to be saved!

OUR GOAL
For homeowners to use the Pat Fay Method home construction management process to save serious money, have better quality, and less stress in their home construction project. Homeowners do not need to use a general contractor to manage their project!

The cost of home construction has gone from ridiculous to absurd levels that far exceed the cost of the materials, labor, equipment, and a fair profit. Pat Fay has invented a home construction management process for the homeowner that allows them to manage their home construction project without a general contractor. A $40 investment to buy the book can lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars saved in your home construction project. Or take a 90 minute class for $350 and receive a free copy of the book.

The Pat Fay Method book is available on Amazon.

Over 1,000 copies sold. If you are planning to build a new house or remodel your existing home you need this book. It teaches the home owner how to act as their own general contractor. If being your own general contractor is not for you then this book teaches you how to manage your general contractor. The basis of the Pat Fay Method is that home construction should only cost approximately $200 per square foot (sf) not $400 sf that homeowners are being charged in most major cities in the United States and Canada. This means that a 3,000 sf house should only cost approximately $600,000 not $1.2 million. If you are unsure about investing $40 to save $600,000 then sign up for a personal training class with Pat Fay.

 Why the Homeowner Needs the Pat Fay Method Book
The cost of home construction is too expensive! Today (2024) a standard 3,000 square foot (SF) house costs approximately $400 per SF in most major cities in America and Canada. This means that a 3,000 SF house costs $1.2 million. This is not just ridiculous; it is absurd! Remember these are just wooden houses built on a concrete foundation. Even home insurance companies have fallen for the myth of high cost. The actual cost of materials, labor, construction equipment, and a fair profit with good to excellent quality is approximately $200 per SF. This means when a homeowner hires a general contractor to build a 3,000 SF house they are paying $600,000 too much! Read the Pat Fay Method book and save serious money.

Be Your Own General Contractor through Construction Management or Manage your General Contractor.
This book was originally written so homeowners could eliminate the general contractor by being their own general contractor through construction management. This has worked well for some homeowners but for others this responsibility seems to be too much. If you think you can or your think you cannot; you are right. If you think you can’t and you hire a general contractor then learn how to manage and control them, the quality, and especially the cost. Don’t fall for the falsehood that if you build for $200/sf then you will have poor quality. See the explanation of quality and what quality looks like with the Pat Fay Method in the Construction section.
