Agents like the one who sold you this property give us all a bad reputation.

First deals have a bad reputation for being a "miserable experience."

Can you recommend me a reputable and honest construction company? 

They are a reputable company. 

We have an exceptional reputation that we have worked very hard to achieve.

You're the fish.They often use a mix of fear, threat and urgency to push a target to act.It can be as simple as a 24 hours sale from your favorite shop that requires you to log in to your account first or your boss asking you to wire money right now or he/she/they will lose an important contract that will cost millions.So cybersecurity is important because without that, you might have an incident that can cost a lot of money, impact your reputation and might affect your credit score.

The only time it might make a difference is if you have a reputation of being good at what you’re proposing or a good citizen in general and then some of the requirements of the Planning Board (which in my town deals with the project and how it is structured with regards to the property) might be a little more lax.

Has anyone worked with this company, or done any investing in this asset class that can provide any feedback or recommendations including reputable companies with good track records?

They were reputable and referral from my trusted network, so have hope it works out.

Make sure your plans are engineered from someone reputable (don't trust the builder's guy unless you can verify their trustworthiness).
