I do the framing or call a buddy to bid it...then I call my plumber and electrician. Sometimes I even show them a set of prints.

Me too. But I posted a more realistic answer to the same Q under the Construction Techniques folder.

I was kinda implying there's a bit more involved in being your own GC than just a phone book and a phone.....

Prints? You mean like finished prints, for the actual job even?
You make it too easy. Make it any easier and you might as well do all the work.
