There is truth in this statement about local builders. My last project back in 2009 was a disaster. Fired two builders that claimed to be 'premier builders' and renew my construction loan and permits 3 times at additional expense in order to complete the project. Good luck in finding a reputable builder.
You should consider a prefab home. Benson Woods out of Walpole recently built a very good friend of mine lake property. The company manage the project from start to finish in less than one month, not including the fabrication of the building and landscaping.
