How to start with construction of my dream ho
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good resource to find contractors? I have been looking online and all I have seen are sites where you have to describe the job then wait to get called from a contractor or if I find a directory type of site there is a limited number of contractors in my area, but I know there are many more. I am trying to build my first house and I was planning on hiring all the contractors so I need a good resource to find them. Something with reviews and article would also be very beneficial, please let me know if anyone knows of a good place to look.

First you get a plan drawn..... ...First you get a plan drawn.....by an architect....
Then you buy a plot according to the Plan or vice-versa.
Then you get a couple of contractors to quote for building that plan....into a house. Note they may under quote and then later keep increasing their charges. Or might say they made some calculation mistake here & there and the end the cost was more than that they expected...etc
Make sure that its a LumpSum contract...ie the amount you "fix" before hand will be the amount the Contractor will get. The increases will be at his own risk....
Also you will have to be on site almost daily to supervise the whole thing.
If you are in a country with heavy rains it would be good to implement waterproofing of the foundation.
