Great advice, Thank you!Just some advice.....before entering into a contractual arrangement with a builder, please ensure that all expectations have not only been discussed but also written down and signed. Fully understand the contract presented to you and make sure material spec sheet is very detailed. Sadly words & handshakes are a thing of the past and this is solely a business arrangement. If you do this on the front end, it will allow you to hopefully have a positive experience with your builder in the end.
We are hoping to build a small beach cottage (around 1400 sq ft). We do have plans. We would definitely appreciate the names of good, hands on builders you might recommend. Thanks!There are lots of good builders here and lots of bad ones. The number of builders here has increased ten fold in the last decade. Play the odds and find someone who has been here awhile, has loads of references, good credit, and is not hated by Walco planning department.
Has to be hands on - they will all say they are. Has to recommend a quality window and door and know what waterproofing is beyond just house wrap.
What is your price range and we can give you names. Do you have plans or need design build / architect?

I am currently having a small cottage/home built in Blue Mountain Beach. Mike Bryla has been absolutely wonderful as my builder. He started building alongside his father in the eighties and is so knowledgeable, fair and has the integrity that is missing in the world today. He is definitely hands on and on the building site daily. He has a handful of loyal subcontractors working with him.
