If your county has online records, you should be able to find out who bought, sold and improved the lot very easily. That will not necessarily tell you the builder, but it will tell you the developer. You might then be able to find out who the GC was by looking up who pulled permits. Tax records, deeds, permits, all can be used to find pieces of the puzzle.

If they do not have online records, you will have to go to wherever they store their records and look it up, and it may include several different offices to find out.
