        "text": "Yes, a shell package carries a substantially lower initial contractor bid because it covers roughly 40 to 50 percent of the total construction scope. However, the overall project cost will increase as you purchase interior materials and hire trades for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. While a shell can save on general contractor management fees if you manage subcontractors yourself, owner-builders often face higher retail pricing for materials and potential budget overruns if they lack construction scheduling experience.",
