For the owner-builder, problems can develop for many reasons, having a range of impacts on the project, its cost and the home’s long-term value, here are some things to consider:

· Lenders may give better terms on construction loans with licensed builders on the job

· Un-budgeted costs of correcting issues may arise 

· The best subcontractors may not want to work with owner-builders

· Complex construction issues, requiring solutions that may be beyond your capabilities

· Inefficient scheduling could cause costly time overruns and delays in project completion

· Difficultly extending or refinancing a construction loan if the project completion is delayed

· Mechanic’s Liens may be filed against your property by subcontractors or suppliers
