Should I Build My Own ADU - Multi Unit?

[David W.]

I just hired an architect to design and plans submit for ADU in my 8 multi unit to use the tuck under parking.

Some people say do not try to be the general contractor as it will take way more time, costly mistakes and will be nearly impossible to manage with current work. best to hire a company that will do it all and cost about $250 per square foot. I have 1000 sqft so $250k.

if I have no GC and manage all the subcontractors I will not have a Rolodex so have to find subcontractors and I’m sure there are a million other complexities. Not sure how much money % I can save if I do it myself too? 

if anyone has ever done this themselves I would love to hear your thoughts.  Especially if you are in LA! Thank you
