[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^dont worry. Not going to do the work ourselves. Just wanting to know the cost of materials & labor. I've found that a lot of the area "builders" I've spoken to are not actually doing the work. Glorified project managers who don't have any real skills. I'd like to hire a structural engineer and then hire licensed contractor to do the work and cut out the overpaid middle man. [/quote]

That is how it works.  They are basically GC's who sub it out.  We parted out ours and it has been very difficult as most don't want to deal with homeowners and they have done a shotty job.  If you have little home improvement knowledge I wouldn't recommend parting it out yourself.  Its going to be very costly.  You need to be realistic that your job is not HGTV and those shows are scams and this is real life.  We had the knowledge to manage it.[/quote]

I was able to redo our basement this way. Hired the electrician, drywall guy, and flooring guy ourselves. Saved a ton of money and very happy with the final product. It took months but well worth it IMO. [/quote]
