If your considering building your house yourself, I would suggest you not rely on your experience in project management in tech. Though I'm sure your experience in managing time, scope, budget and difficult clients (or in this case, sub-contractors) is relatively transferable from your industry to construction, your lack of general knowledge of home construction would become an issue. I speak from experience in saying this as I've seen this occur a number of times, including in a project I'm presently on. In short, go through a builder and they'll regulate your involvement.

- Sounds like $200/sf is a reasonable budget for the typical home being built in East Van. Does that sound accurate?

Yup, though it may be slightly on the low side as Van and the North Shore are more expensive to build in than other areas of the Lower Mainland.
When you eventually need an insulation bid, send me a message.
