I cannot recommend any builder's in New Jersey as I'm from the Midwest, but it was suggested to me to check with local lumber yards in the building materials area. Those folks work with builders everyday and may be able to give you the names of a few reputable contractors. I checked at the big chain lumberyards as the smaller privately owned stores and ended up with a few names to look into for my own home. Also check with your local building department. They may be able to provide the names of builder's who have built in the area...especially ...(Answered by Mickey)

if builders work off architects scaled drawings and the measurements are incorrect, who is liable?"? My builders say the architect is liable as the drawing does not state to remeasure - the architect says the builder should have measured before ordering steels. ... (Asked by lulapu)

It's a potentially complicated issue. Builders dealing with existing conditions should measure those conditions before beginning work and should take responsibility for the accuracy. If you're doing all new work, it's the builder's responsibility to get the measurements right. If the architect put down dimensions that caused conflicts in the builder's work, the architect would be at fault. I don't know what the project is, but remember how much you pay the builder versus how much you pay the architect. Which one do you think deserves more responsibility?...(Answered by Wilton P)

If in town, check with the city hall. I've had to get permits before. They'll want a detailed set of drawings showing property lines, streets, sidewalks, buildings, alleys, and so on. They'll also want detailed drawings of the fence construction, what it will be made of, how it is anchored, the works. You can draw them yourself, if you have a fair hand for it. But it all depends on the city. If you live outside the city limits, the county seat will have the information. It may be you won't need a permit, but as big as Little Rock ...(Answered by fishing66833)

The same problems that they have with "stick" houses, most of the time it's with clients and their whims. Some people want more for their money then they should be getting and then there's the "please, just for me" type. We also have the "just this once type" and there's the very nasty one that comes in and threatens you. We have just about the same clientele as anyone else and it takes a Saint to make them feel good again....(Answered by cowboydoc)
