Thanks for the response on your experience on insurance credits. here's what Met-Tile says:
"Texas homeowners who use products that meet impact resistant
performance requirements are eligible for roof covering credits
from the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). The roof credits

Previous Owner-Builder Survey
|
Sub recognition? Steven in Colorado Springs, CO said: Not really--nobody went "above and beyond" in my estimation.
Marvin in McConoughey, OR said: No subs other than the two noted. They did fine work and were paid per their quote.
Terry in Santa Rosa, CA said: Fine Line Design - Eric Blomberg
Susan said: don't understand this question.
I had an outstanding plumber and exterior painter. Ike in Edmonton, Alberta said: Always comment on good work at the time it is done not two weeks thereafter. Keep morale up and motivate subs. Frank in Bridgewater, NJ said: be genuine with praise Brian in Dome-ville, central, FL said: In our weblog Jeff in Hartland, WI said: Excavator was great.
Framer was fantastic.
I hired a finish carpenter to do the stairs. He did a great job.
Electrician was like one of the family.
Jack in Trumann, AR said: I bought doughnuts and brought to the site regularly when they were doing good work. And I thanked them and told them how I thought they were doing as well. I had planned on having a party after the house was done but I never did. Mark in Provo, UT said: Praise and appreciation go a long way. We wrote letters of
appreciation/testimonials for several of them. We planned on doing a
plaque with the names of subs, but the contributors got muddled on
several trades. We bought lunch a few times and provided canned
beverages or pastries regularly.
Brock in Walla Walla, WA said: Hays electric and College Place Heat and Airconditioning always go above and beyond what they do and still stick to the estimated cost. Workmanship and materials provided are high quality Pat in Round Rock, TX said: Stay away from Mark Van Beber Eric in Seaville, NJ said: All were incredible
Pete Pittaluga Masonry, Pittaluga electric (cousins), Gus Depietro best tile guy ever! Chuck devaul excavation,superior walls, Bill Morris contractor, KCT HVAC and Radiant, Paul Larsen Plumbing, Cape Insulation, Viking Drywall, schuler security and stereo, Hensel Rd woodworks-Levi Esh Cabinetry, Hunter Construction trim, Brian Truit hardwood floors, Seaspray painting- Jeff Decesare, Bayside marble & Granite, Roger in Petoskey, MI said: Use their time efficeintly (don't call them until you need them).

Brian in Manvel, TX said: just a check Jedda in Brighton, ON said: money Craig in Green Bay, WI said: did that onsite as working. Lunch Cookies ect... I gave my each of framers a hundred bill during the project and told them to take out their wife for dinner.
Definitely Dreaming in Hampton, VA said: there just friends and they are good at thier trades Aimee in Kalamazoo, MI said: letter of thanks for them to use in portfolio or whatever; cash tips; snacks for main building crew Richard in Malabar, FL said: As deserved. Kenneth in Lees Summit, MO said: 1) I want to have a subcontractor appreciation day and invite all of the subcontractors out to see the finished house. Many of the subcontractors are involved at the beginning and never see the final house, although they are critical in the construction project.
2) I have a closet in the basement I am going to allow all subcontractors to sign, kind of like a yearbook. You won't see it unless you are looking, but it is kind of a nice touch and something the history buffs will like 75 or 100 years from now when this site is historic.
3) www.sessaconstruction.net show many subcontractor trucks - they like the free advertising.
4) I allow many of my suppliers and subcontractors to take pictures of my house to use in their advertising. I was a feature house in the greater Kansas City Home Show for Amvic (ICF), my ICF subcontractor has my house featured on his Internet site (including a link to mine), my deck builder took pictures that are in his advertising flyer, my HVAC tech has brought people by to show them ICF construction. Kathlyn in Orlando, FL said: I made up a list called "Hall of Fame" I gave the contact information for each sub and passed it out to anyone I heard needed a trade.
When each trade finished, I gave the workers each a $20 bill and a hearty thankyou.

Construction Bargain Strategies

106. "Friend of a Friend"
Owner-Builder Lynn H. of Tremonton, Utah said, "Had friends in every trade. They all let me buy with their discounts at the supply house. Really all you need to know is how to make phone calls. Ask: ‘Will you give me contractor prices?' They say, ‘Sure'.
Our pal at the electrical supply house calls this the "Friend of a friend" strategy. He says you can get much better prices if you "know someone." The someone can be a sub that you already know or someone you meet doing pre-construction interviews. You could ask permission to buy under their account, paying cash, or just mention their name without specific permission. There's really no standard for how good a friend the subcontractor has to be. You're paying cash or with a credit card, and the distributor benefits from the sale.
Usually the friend also benefits from your purchase. There may be prizes or incentives for increased purchase volume with the distributor, or lower prices on future purchases for the friend. If you have problems, try another supply house, or another friend.

Thought from the Book
|
Even though you plan to act as the general contractor, there is nothing
to prevent you from asking licensed general contractors to estimate
your project. In a slow market, you may find a real bargain and decide
to let a general build it. You may be forced by the unforeseen, say
sickness or accident, to have a general build or finish your
project. You may find a general that you use for a future project or
recommend to someone else. For these reasons it is more than fair to
take advantage of the free service that general contractors perform of
bidding potential work.

How Much Is a Postage Stamp?
|
|
by Mark A. Smith
In The Complete Guide to Contracting Your Home (see our
Bookstore) the authors write: "The old saying, 'Only one thing has one
price: a postage stamp.' is alive and well in the building material
business."
They are making the point that anything you buy, from excavation to
sinks to carpet, can have a different price at different times to different
people. As one veteran told me, "It's a negotiated business."
We'd hate to stretch a point, but beg to inform our learned colleagues
that even a postage stamp can have many prices.
This came home to me a couple of years ago when the local grocery
store offered postage stamps for $1 off per book of stamps. (About 18%
off). There was no limit, but one catch, you had to take the stamps with
some money-saving coupons in a booklet. The coupons turned out to be
very good ones. The store has repeated the promotion frequently.
Shortly after this, our post office began accepting credit cards for
stamp purchases. Now the "time value of money" was on our side. We
bought all the postage we needed, hundreds of dollars worth, on the 26th
of every month, when our new credit card cycle began. We then had 55
days to pay for the purchase. Stamps went on the credit card on the 26th,
we got a statement the 30th of the next month, and payment was due on
the 18th of the following month. We made the payment on the Internet
without using a stamp or writing a check. The charge hit our bank 3 days
later, a total of 55 days of valuable "float".
We also compared sources of shipping and found that when we
shipped our books to the distributor, (usually done through UPS) the
charge was $26.30 per box. By selecting our class of postage we were
able to ship USPS for $15.43, another way to get more out of a stamp.
Of course this postage was also charged on a credit card, and we
got frequent flyer miles for the purchase. We keep a credit card that gives
the most bang for the buck in air travel. We take advantage of all their
promotions, and get a good handful of free air tickets every year.
So how much does a postage stamp cost?
