I am building right now, first time. I am asking many friends for advice, and have also been using this as a general guide: https://www.amazon.ca/Complete-Guide-Contracting-Your-Home/dp/1558708715
It is not an easy process for someone with no experience, as I am finding out. But it is possible.
This book has been pretty good about getting started, and whether to even embark on being your own GC or not.
It is very common for a do-it-yourself homebuilder, or a general contractor, to field out certain things to specialist tradesmen subcontractors. Plumbing and electrical are two of the top ones. The consequences for getting something wrong are ugly. Some learning experiences in electrical & plumbing will kill you, some will destroy the house. Mostly they'll just fail you inspections and cause expensive delays.
With that said:
