I've been expanding my business investments and interests.

The initial plan is a 1200 sf build out with plans to expand back away from the cliff later as finances and interest rates are more favorable.

I was recently offered this, wanted to get feedback, questions, etc. 

I, too would like to revive this post. 

Is there a way to find local developers based on zip codes on this forum?
