What about the renovation budget?

But we haven't had any issues other than that.I think operational efficiency has to be kept in mind- even with a varied budget or a small budget.

That's relative and your budget might be reasonable or ridiculous.Much of the cost for these basement conversions will go in to sewer- if your sewer line is already below grade, it'll save you quite a bit.

Find meetups on your truck route and you can hyperspeed your learning.

A good GC is going to be a willing partner in this, getting your thought's but most importantly budget, and than telling you how it should be done, and how the priority list should go.

Hint: the ones that run ads on TV and have fancy wrapped trucks and show up with logo'ed shirts are WAY more expensive than the ones that have been doing it for 20 years, but show up in a questionable looking pickup truck!  

Very different with a guy and a truck: if they are new to me, I write the first small check when they show up on the job and start working.

It will be area specific and unless you have a truck and help it is probably better to hire professionals.

At another development 17 two story townhouses with basements were all modulars trucked to the site from a factory.
