Re: [CASBA Members] Needy would be owner-builder looking for a General Contractor to help with a build in Amador County

Hi, 

Martin Hammer, Architect did a project like this a few years ago you can call him.   On the metal Building part make sure that the metal building is designed as a house. Metal buildings are allowed greater deflections than any other building, if you are doing the metal building for cost reasons then you need to have them change the allowable deflection and re price the steel, the cost will go up.

Martin’s contact info fro the CASBA website is below. also look on the CASBA website for contractors in that area.

Subject: [CASBA Members] Needy would be owner-builder looking for a General Contractor to help with a build in Amador County

 

I would probably tackle that project as a owner-builder but I am sure that I will need to borrow money to do all (or even enough) of what I want to do. So I need a contractor to keep the bank and inspectors happy.

This home will be on a parcel about an hour S/E of Sacramento, outside the city of Ione. There
are a few straw bale homes in the County so inspectors do have a little experience, and I have worked on a few projects. I am a rather handy guy...

If you are, or know of, an easy going but professional GC who would be willing to talk to me about such a project I would really appreciate the contact.

My plan is to build a free standing steel roof (think horse arena but a bit more complicated) with a Non-load baring S.B. perimeter wall, well inside the overhang.

I have some sketches I have been working on but I know I will be needing the math done by an engineer with a stamp also. So if you know someone who looks like they might fit that bill please pass that on as well!

Thanks!

Mike
