[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hire an electrician yourself. Hire a handyman to do the cabinets, tile and other work, order the granite directly from a shop. You do not need a GC for all that. Yes, Home Depot, Lowes, and other shops have much cheaper cabinets.[/quote]m This. The best way to save money is to manage everything on your own and not hire a GC. It will take longer and will be a pain but you can save tens of thousands. Get quotes from handymen for the tile work, painting, replacing cabinets yourself. Get a labor only quote and purchase the role and granite directly from the store. You can find someone who specializes in cabinets. We saved around 30k doing our basement and the work is fine. A lot of the quotes we received from gcs were ridiculous. I'm talking 7k to repair and paint drywall versus the handyman doing it for 1k. Comparing the estimates is funny. [/quote]
