Advice! Building a cottage: Dream Or Reality?

[outofadream]

Mary, we decided we wanted smaller ( in which budget wise here was the best option) It is just us 3, my son which is 11 & growing up fast. We do & will have friends & family visiting occasionally so we do need 3 beds/ 2.5 bath. Our current home now is 2030 sq ft. 4 beds/2 baths & frankly we don't even use one of the rooms. I am still getting to know the area. My husband on the other hand is down there every weekend with our business. We have about 15 banks, an apartment complex, a hotel & some residential homes that we take care of. (lawn & landscape) right now. The Blue Mountain beach area is great! I went through there for my first time in May. I was like wow, there are just cute treasures everywhere. How cool, so much to see and do. I have seen the " Mike Bryla" name in the forum before. Do you know if he has a website?

Ashlee...Mike does not have a website. He and his father have been building in this area for 25 years. He is hands-on and on the site daily. His costs to me have been extremely fair My cottage is being built as my only home for just me. It will have 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. It is 960sf plus porch. I will have family or friends visiting occasionally

Ok. Thank you. I will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you so much!

The first thing you'll want to ask your builder for is their Florida State Contractors license or number.

You can then verify it and see any complaints here:

Licensing Portal - License Search

Keep in mind this isn't Yelp! and any complaints should raise serious flags as the process to make one is not short.
