Soror,

We did not look for lots of land and pick an independent builder we picked out our lot from the lots availbale in a new home community. I am not sure about finding an independent builder and building on a lot you have independently purchased. I have a co-worker who is building her house like that (on some land her parents had) and you simply are hiring independent contractors to do the various tasks in building a home, which is what the builder is doing anyway. I would imagine it would have to be cheaper since you are handling the tasks that need to be done.
