I know nothing of Siegan7. If I were building now I would research them but my first choice now would be Steven Olivier. Great builder with all the attributes posted above me. No bullshite, schedule on time as much as any can be, budget correct because he knows how to estimate and any change requests are hashed out right then and both parties sign off on so at the end of the process there are no surprises.

Sienna Builders, Mark Spano would be my second. Very good builder with you in mind just a little pokey so prodding along is up to you. As long as you understand the process, in that there is no real process, and be aware that being attentive both would do well.

As I'm sure you know, patience, especially when building a custom home, is a virtue.

No Fussell. Whatever you do. Get your lawn boy to build it before him.

Thanks. I know Steve pretty well. He helped me find a couple of properties that I purchased in the last year. I don't think that he is building anymore, maybe you know otherwise.

Are you saying that Spano is a good builder but he has to be pushed to get the job done. I don't know if that would work with the wife, a type A++++ personality.
