You are a one-off for them. If they get a job on another for an actual builder - they no-show your house. Then you are juggling timing because one is dependent on another.

see, i had no issues with this. i assume if you go through and pick subs out of the phone book and just take the lowest ones, you'll deal with this. If you have reputable subs, they're not going to leave you high and dry. It's all about relationships. IF you don't know of a good sub, go to your lumber yard for framers, roofers, finish guys. Plumbing/hvac/electrical warehouse for those trades. Paint and flooring store for those trades.

I think the biggest relationship you can build is with the lumber yard salesman. He's getting your biggest check and it behooves him to work with you and put you onto some good guys.
