I agree with DickR 100%. In 2010 I built a home within RBC 2009 'green' spec. PSNH rated it 5 Stars+ and was featured in a trade journal.

Unfortunately I talked to about 2 dozen builders and they want to build their way. One even told me, "Why do you want to build a home to that spec? You are going to sell eventually and you can't bring it to heaven"

I did find one builder who will build to the SOW and it took him almost three years to finish the project! One excuse after another and always want the money in advance! Needless to say even though he is good, I will not recommend him!

Finding a good residential general contractor in this area is tough! My friend mentioned above had his home built by Bensonwoods and they are great but they do not do the 'ground work'.
