I'm doing long-range planning. Come hell or high-water I'm doing my own house one day. (although I suppose it could be used for my bro's asbestos plaster house deathtrap).

...mmm, anyway. UDA ConstructionSuite looks like it would be a huge help for an owner-builder. It would make for super-organization. I'd prob.. Go for the Pro version to get the CAD and accounting integration.

overkill? Crap software? It even includes contracts, they crap?

Sure, it'll cost $999, but should well worth the efficiency and organization. ..I found this thing while looking for a free MasterFornat residential template.
