To be just a developer or both developer/builder?

[Derek Bell]

So, I develop flex warehouses. Usually around 15k-25k sf with 6 identical units. I find the land, go through all the work w my builder/architect/engineer, get the property leased, then sell.

I may try to be the developer AND builder down the road. Don’t have my builders license yet. Don’t have the contacts like my builder has for subs etc.

I am just curious about other industrial/commercial developers on here and their opinions.

Is it really worth the savings and added stress of becoming the builder as well? Dealing with codes, subs, insurance, permits, etc etc
