Looking for someone with experience building from the ground up.

[Tom Mozzone]

I'm looking for someone who has built from the ground up on the outskirts of the Bay Area in California. I'm looking to build in the Gilroy area (95020) If anyone in the area is around for me to pick their brain a bit, that would be great. Also, if anyone from outside the area has any universal suggestions, ideas, things to look out for, I'd also love to hear from you.
