Interested in getting quotes for a sfh rehab in the Columbus area, but not sure if I should be getting quotes for each item on my to do list or if I should have it quoted as a package and hire one GC. My thought is that working with one company would be easiest, but not sure if that's always the most cost effective option. What's your experience?

@Nate Crowley you just answered it yourself. Having a General contractor will be the easiest, but not the most cost effective. The most cost effective would be to sub out each job yourself. It really depends on how comfortable you are running the show, and the time you have to put into it.

 From my experience here locally in cbus / central ohio doing it subcontractor is the best way. time and time again it has proven that way. Find the concrete guy, the tree guy, the sheetrock / drywall guy, the tile guy, etc. I have a client that built a carriage house in a historic neighborhood called victorian village. and he did it for less than $50k when he had quotes well into the $125k range. Only you knows whether price or having one person is more important.
