That is, a two story building with a living space above a garage. Assuming you have all the site work (foundation, septic, utility, etc.) done professionally, what is the difficulty level level involved? Which parts are best to leave to subs?
>>2886258It's not a great deal different to a regular house so long as the foundations are designed for the extra weight (which will be a lot if you allow for electric cars), especially if you split the garages with walls (otherwise you may need stronger supporting beams for the floor above). Most important thing is to either heavy protect the supports at the front of make it so that a single support getting knocked out won't collapse the house. It's bad enough fucking up and hitting a column with your car without it also collapsing the house.
>>2886258Based on my time working construction to pay for college, more of them are drunks, drug addicts, or thieves and the only thing they have in common is a third grade education. If you know how to build to code, that is to say you can read a book, you can do it. Code is the bare minimum you need for it to not fall down, burn up, or leak like a sieve. None of that shit is hard as in complex. At most it is hard in that it is difficult. It takes effort and discipline. Its tiring and sometimes back breaking. A fucking orangutan could do it though.
>>2886258as >>2886324 said nothing relating to construction is "difficult" because 80 IQ dropouts do it all day. as soon as I met enough construction workers I realized I could basically build anything provide I have an engineer's stamp on my plans and a copy of whatever code is applicable
