Spec Home vs Rehabbing Home - Please Advise (General Contractor)

[Greg P.]

Hello, I'm considering building a spec home due to the lack of inventory for rehabs. I'm wondering if I should find a "builder" who has experience building houses or if I should be able to keep using the current contractor I use? I've seen him build additions before, but I don't believe he has ever built a house. He's a very trustworthy guy and knows how to coordinate well between the city and his workers. Could anyone advise if I should be fine keeping my general contractor to build this spec home? Thanks all.
