OP do not do this That is so lame.

Would you walk in an office setting and get the info of a secretary because you're looking for a secretary at your job? Those guys are working and you're 1) have no legit reason to be on site 2) slowing down the job and 3) are possibly taking workers away from a builder that is already using them. Yes it's the subs decision to risk not getting work anymore from that builder but that is just ridiculous on your part.

If you wouldn't go up to the job and talk to the subs with the GC there, then that should tell you that you shouldn't be doing it with him not there.

What? If you do this tactfully, why not? Yeah, don’t go bother the sheetrock guy when he’s on stilts but if he’s down you can ask him for a card. Those guys are begging for people to hire them. Why would they not want an engaged owner/contractor to come to them?

And if they get pissy, you dodged a bullet.

You run a little to tight of a ship if your worried about 5 minutes to talk to me. This is one of the more advised ways of finding contractors form what i have heard in the past.
