Local contractors appear to be on permanent vacation. Good luck finding one under budget and on time!

So called premier builders is just a marketing gimmick. After retirement I help provide project management for two building projects. First project, I fired two builders and the third was slooooow! And numerous subcontractors on which I ended up finishing their work myself! Took me three years to build a 2500 sq ft home.

Last project was a godsend! Hired Benson Woods out of Walpole. After a year getting wetland permits, two months of site work, poured the foundation and Benson Woods had the house up in two weeks! Sure it was a prefab, but my humble opinion the quality of the build was far better than any stick built I have seen! And on time and under budget!

I feel you pain! Perhaps you should try and calling the attorney general for remediation. Even that is futile and the local subcontractors know it!
