Finding the Builder/Contractor Building • Learn how to read blueprints. • Visit the site often and at various hours. • Take lots of pictures. • Keep email records. • Learn the chain of command on the site. • Ask the on-site manager any questions. • If the answers are not satisfactory, email the architect.
