I have absolutely no idea what I am doing... I assume retention money is an amount of money held back until inspection/completion?
Speccing isn't an issue, I'm going to go fucking nuts on details, down to where I want tiles to line up.
PM wise, my jobs kinda part time, or rather not too demanding, and I like things done my way, so might step. up to the challenge, although I am prob under estimating things and would be more suited just doing sign off and things like that.
Assume you kicked your place off by commissioning an architect?

And @chrisbmx116 @bq gives good advice - especially on speccing everything out and making sure you're happy with stuff. If you're not you absolutely should be able to ask for it to be redone. That's the point of the retention money!
I'd be a bit careful about this:
Unless you have an amazing project manager that has the potential to be a massive PITA.
Be aware that project managing it yourself in that scenario is not compatible with a full time job!
