Best reference is their subtrades. If the subtrades like working for them and they pay their bills your about 98% good to go. Get a list of trades they work with as referrences.

You are funny about the draftsman.
I Had guy ask me about that very same subject about my subs. So I gave him My plumber, electrical man, and drywaller. It turned out that he call them himself and did the remodel himself with my guys. I was a little pissed and them laughed about it after a few hours. I talked to my subs after I found out what was going on and all of them say they that they would not have taken the job if they had known what was happening. I use the very same subs each and every job. They are trained. the job went well without any trouble because they all know each other from doing work for me. I just wish that one job they would screw up would be this one, but they didn't. Too bad. I usually are real careful with selecting clients. I interview them as well as they interview me. This one hit me like a freight train from the back and did not see it coming. Live and learn. Would I do it again, you bet. I believe there still are many good people out there.
