Interesting and helpful posts. I may find myself in a similar situation as DrWho. My husband and I own a lot in HPP and have been dealing with and getting bids from contractors for a turn-key home. About 1100 sf + garage, 3bed, 2 bath. The price keeps going up and we are starting to feel as though we are being jerked-around. It may come down to doing it ourselves. But before we get there, any thoughts on what a reasonable psf price for a turn key contractor should be? And, if we end up doing it ourselves, we'd be coming from the mainland and fear just getting taken advantage of by the individual contractors (framers, electrical, etc). Any advice on finding reliable, fair individual contractors.
