I feel it is the best thing for the budget but it takes up alot of our time arranging deliveries and sourcing materials.

Just a thought, instead of paying 15k upfront, is it not better to buy materials directly online and ask the contractor to take delivery of the same and we pay only for the labor and services portion? 

The local Chinese restaurant refused to make deliveries to the apartments because the delivery men would get robbed.

Last time we had one (in 2010) the labor and delivery was $7,000. 

; (1) one year for workmanship and materials; (2) two years for plumbing, electrical, heating, and air-conditioning delivery systems; (3) ten years for major structural components of the home; and (4) ten years for the warranty of habitability.I guess I would get it in writing that they are subject to this and are covered.

Transportation is what costs . 1/2 ton stone  $15.00 delivery fee $100 5 ton of stone $65   delivery fee  $100

It would be builder financing with 20% down upfront, 20% down on delivery and then a 72 mo loan for the remaining balance at 7.5%.

Schedule material deliveries and ensure that the job site always has what it needs so you dont waste time. 

You can also send your listing to agent by email.When selecting an agent - interview them, ask how many of this type homes have you sold - are you successful, how much did you earn last year - ask for a marketing proposal - where and when will you advertise, how many open houses - will you do a virtual video recording, what websites will you put the house on - will you hand delivery flyers in the neighborhood - will you send out post cards (home many?)

Maybe you can call around/shop around for pricing on flooring, or get chimney sweep quotes, set up appointments, be at the property for deliveries or offer to wait there when the phone/cable/electric company gives a 4 hour window for some kind of service call.
