I just finished mine last April in Assumption parish. Had no problem at all. I will say this, a buddy of mine used a GC to build his home about the same time we built ours and he finished a few months in advance. But, there have been numerous issues that he is seeing. Roof leaks, window issues, others. He is now realizing that the GC gave him an estimate for job and he agreed to price. Then the GC tried getting the cheapest guys to do the jobs and it wasn’t what he wanted. I got my own people to do the job, but I also got to choose who I wanted. I work shift work so it wasn’t bad, except turnaround times for materials was bad due to Covid and supply and demand.
Bout where you building in big Assumption Parish? We probably know a lot of the same people.

Good to here of someone else locally who had a good experience with this. I see it took a little while longer, but I'm in no rush.
I have a lot on HWY 308, heading towards Thibodaux, not far past Madewood Plantation. its one of the cleared out lots with all of the new houses going up.
What was your all in $ of your house, per SQ wise if you dont mind me asking? and how would you say your finishes are (standard or premium?). I may have to get in touch with you when i get closer to building.
