You should be able to find people in your local real estate club that can help to connect you with good commercial contractors. https://reiclub.com/real-estate-clubs.php
John’s Answer
I would start with local research, even stopping at active building sites to request the contact information for the Project Manager. Start building connections like those and have a list of questions ready to go for the conversation. Ask for 1-2 referrals from them and any tips they would provide for someone just getting started.
Another good starting place would be a local builder's association like https://www.ohiohba.com/
You can see who was awarded best builder in each category on the "Best of Ohio" tab. Start by contacting Knez Homes (Best Community Development of the Year) and RSA Architects (Best Townhome/Condo/Villa of the Year) and see what guidance they can provide.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
