Get a very trustworthy contractor. Lots of references and check the state to make sure he/she has had any problems.
NOPE SORRY! =(
you will save about 25% if you contract it out. It will take you twice as long to get it done. if you are talking about doing the work yourself, you will save on all the labor but it will take you forever to finish it.
I have been a Excavating and Water Well Drilling contractor for 15 years and my experience is that First you need a good architect and if you are going to be the general contractor you can save a lot of money .My best experiences are that you get a good reputable contractor to do the whole job all liability's are on that person. Get a good contract that your lawyer can look over and ask the contractor to see jobs in progress and completed work talk to the new homeowners and see how the contractor handled the job from start to finish .Make sure the contractor is licensed and insured .
