[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the pp in NE DC doing the addition - who are you using?  Are you happy so far with the work?[/quote]

We're actually in NW, I was using NE as an example.  But we live in 20001 for context so not somewhere known for being affluent even though houses now sell for $600-$1.2m).  I am not happy enough with the work to recommend my contractor.  They are competent but would be better for a straight forward GC job rather than design build.  If I had to do it again we'd have an architect throughout the process and may or may not have gone with a different contractor.  We've also had a lot of delays.  That said we didn't go with the cheap option and contractor was very well recommended and previous clients appeared very happy.

For the PPs who can't get lower quotes, you are calling the wrong contractors.  If you call the contractors that all your neighbors have used they will try and fleece you.  Get quotes from contractors who do work all over the city.
