Contractor Interviews

Originally we had thought we would be GCing (General contracting-meaning doing all the hiring and coordinating of subcontractors and materials) ourselves. Of course the thought was to save the approx 15% of your project that GCs usually charge.
Turns out we changed our minds. About doing it, not about the savings, ha, ha!
We realized that this is a full time job (though we had been warned) already; that we couldn't imagine the way it will be once construction starts.
So, our architect has given us a couple names and we also have a couple names from friends.
We have 2 interviews set up for this weekend, so we are hoping to learn more about what this potential team member can bring to the project and budget (plus and minus) before proceeding. Honestly I am pretty excited because I think this is going to be the best and most important decision we make for the whole thing. Lets hope we get it right...
