How To Find A General Contractor

My group is in contract on a 12 family multi that will require a gut rehab.  How do you track down a GC that can provide a statement of  scope of work needed for the bank and how to present that need to the GC.  What would be the general cost for something like that.  Thanks for your support.

@Calvin Lipscomb touch base with @Ronan M.. He works that area and owns buildings there. 

I have personally never hired a GC for apartment renovations. You would probably not need an architect if you are just swapping cabinets, tile, floors, etc. I am not sure what the scope of your project is though. I would not personally pay a fee for an estimate. Try to get GC's from referrals so you know they do this type of work. Not all GC's want to do this type of stuff.
