other basic outside stuff, as well as basic indoor stuff such as plywood on the floors, etc, then they leave it unfinished for the homeowner to finish? I know there is a special name for it, I just can't remember.

  1. a framer will build the frame but he usually installs roof and plywood walls floors and roof  you can ask around but most general contractors can do all the above and if you want them to stop at a certain point they will. keep in mind that the building permit he gets will be only for the work he performs. no contractor will get an open permit and allow someone else to finish a home as there are liabilities to consider. you will also have to get permits for grading, electrical and plumbing.


  2. general contractors take care of many diferent occupations involved with home building.it is too much for a home owner to look after.

  3. I have heard it referred to as the "shell" of the house.
