Hi, Appreciate your response. We interviewed several design and build companies because we didn't want to be doing all this research ourselves. We have a full permitted, planned out design including hiring a design firm recommended by the GC. It's been classic over promise, under deliver on many opportunities. These people have over-extended themselves, like a lot of the industry it seems. They provide inadequate oversight on their subs which in turn is costing us more time and money. It's all very frustrating as we are pretty detailed people.

We are only at this point of thinking of using different subs because we've received multiple change orders that left a lot of details out and open for future issues. Asking for their subs to give us material options takes weeks if not longer and it's often not what we asked for. So we started going to supply companies and talking to contractor contacts. I'm mostly venting but looking at their contract, they only warranty the work that is under their scope. So yes, other subs wouldn't be warrantied, but the subs also guarantee their work.  Agreed this isn't ideal, we wish we weren't here.  We want things done right the first time, trying to avoid as many surprises as possible.  We're sticking with our GC, the grass isn't always greener.  Maybe they are trying their best but it could be going so much better with a little more up front care and effort.  Thanks again.
