K L ADAMS GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Kevin was open to requests for changes as the project progressed.   He was generally always available to us by phone or in person and was easy to work with.  Kevin did spend time at the site to monitor progress of the sub contractors on the job.   The only problems we encountered were with the plumbing subcontractor who did not exhibit any real interest in the job and only did what he had to to complete his obligations and nothing more.   That sub contractor was not always on the job as promptly as needed.   The plumber was supposed to put in a whole house water filtration system and did not.  Instead he put a small filter under  the kitchen sink.  I ultimately had a whole house system installed by another local plumbing contractor several years after the construction project was competed and we had lived in the house.   
I believe the building permits were finally issued by St Lucie County approximately Dec, 2001 and the house completed in June, 2002.  We started this project one year before we needed to be in the home in order to allow more than sufficient time for the construction.   At that time in Florida sub contractors were over booked with work and a six month time period for construction was not unusual.  The lead time for the design, building contract and getting building permits at that time was anywhere from 6 to 12 months.   My recommendation is to give yourself plenty of time for the project and don't expect to be completed with everything in 3 or 4 months.
