Looking for builders in the washington area if there is anyone that can get a list that would be great!!!!!!!!!!!

Pssst ... I`ll let you in on a little StartupNation etiquette that most people assume is understood in a civil society.

Members who post helpful suggestions and insightful comments on this site tend to frown on people who sign up and start a thread just to promote their own business or ask for advice or assistance on matters that they haven`t bothered to research on their own.

The preferred method (as for building most business relationships) is to first do your own homework, help yourself first, offer something to others, THEN ask others to help you.

I know I speak for many others when I say we`re trying to discourage spoon-feeding and opportunists, and instead, promote self-thinking and the reading of, or listening to, the valuable information that already exists on this site.

I`m sure you wouldn`t want to appear foolish or obnoxious by asking others to do your work for you. Besides, you`d miss out on the learning experience.

Just a LITTLE IN SIGHT TO THAT , COME FROM THE FACT THAT I HAVE ALREADY DONE RESEARCH AND HAVING COME UP WITH  THINGSTHAT DON`T FIT MY CRITARIA............ sO WHAT i AM LOOKING FOR IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS OF ANYOTHER WAY OF FINDING LEADS FOR BUILDERS IF SO THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF NOT THAN THERE ISN`T ANYTHING TO BE THREATEN BY.

I had found that out, thanks any  tips on good communication skills that could help me speak with people.

Dan,  You can get a list of builders and contractors by contacting the local Chamber of Commerce, this list might cost a little, but if it has all of the contacts that you need it will be worth it.  I purchased a list form our local Chamber and it really paid off.  It will not be expensive!!  Another plus!

Geez, Louise! I totally concur on OHDenise`s post.
God may or may not help those who help themselves, but really, a list of builders? Yellow Pages (uh, duh), your local AGC (association of general contractors), looking in the newspaper on the weekends for their ads, Builder magazines.

This is almost along the lines of a NASA-scientist-level post a few weeks back which basically asked us to help him find a desk for his kid for $20 or so. I bill @ $350/hour - hell, I could have bought him a silly table for the lost time it took me to reply.

This is a valuable resource. Please use it wisely.

And, oh yeah, UNLOCK YOUR CAPSLOCK BUTTON.

What`s the big deal?!!!!!

Give the guy a break, everyone on this forum may not know where to find all of the information. 

As business people, why not use all of the resources that you can find and SUN is a great resource.
