I was speaking with a neighbor and he suggested I look at doing a DIY project, not building myself, rather serving as general contractor and using a consultant who will advise and come out for inspections. He did this and claims he saved about 20% on his build. Anyone done anything like this? There's a local company here who sells a DIY kit that walks you through the process too.

Anyone have any thoughts here?
Go with an above ground real AGP... or Intex type... save lots of money, and get rid of it when your tired or the kids are grown. Save about $80k for retirement.
