Residential Redevelopment Guidance Needed (New Jersey)

[Robert Marek]

Dear BP - 

I am looking for guidance on redeveloping a property in Linden, NJ. I want to raze the existing structure, subdivide the property into 2, and build a new duplex, which has been done to numerous properties in the neighborhood. However, I do not know how to make this happen. Can I hire someone to take care of everything? What is that type of person called?  A general contractor?  Owners Representative? I know it will be cheaper to do it myself, but I don't have the confidence that I can pull this off efficiently and I need to make as few mistakes as possible.  Also, would be nice to do it within a year. 

Most of my experience is in owning rentals and property management, and I feel clueless regarding building a new structure. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Thank you,

Robert
