I met with the second GC I'm considering. This was a pair of brothers who are in the business with their dad. They are friends of a friend of mine. They went though my RFP in detail, asked great questions, made notes, took photos of the place and measured windows. They don't do foundation work, so I'd still have to call in a specialist (I was holding off on that because all the foundation specialists charge a fee for doing a site visit to provide the quote, which I really dislike!), but they said they know someone who could come over without charging me. They'll send their roofer over tomorrow to get his quote nailed down for the entire bid.
I was really pleased that they did not offer any wild and crazy suggestions, like adding a bathroom or totally rearranging the house. I told them I have a short term plan and a long term plan, and they were cool with that.
When I asked questions about the possibility of certain things, they explained what might be a problem with doing that depending on what we discover on the other side. They always offered alternative suggestions that I could consider in the event that it's not feasible.
All in all, I liked them, so I'll be interested to see how their quote comes in.
And I took pictures while I was there! As soon as I can find my camera cable, I'll post them.
