Can i perform some of the work utilizing the 203k?
I am working a 203k loan right now and have a detailed scope of work put together. Currently, i am trying to massage the scope of work to keep within my budget. I had to remove things such as exposing brick walls.
My GC has stated that since he is the one pulling permits, i wont be allowed to do anything to the house since he is liable for anything that happens on-site.
I want to be able to expose brick myself during the demo phase instead of after the 203k is closed out. The amount of debris from this will be a headache to clean up post-rehab.
Is the GC correct? Will i, the owner, not be able to perform brute labor to expose brick walls?
