The challenge is finding a builder that likes to build in wood and is also a good finisher and loading the goodies. You may find a builder, a seperate finsher and a yet different loader of electronics/mechanicals.

It is not unusual for a high quality builder charge $1750 to complete an ARC, and $2250+ for a fiberglass/foam kit. Some charge by the hour and provide a detailed time and materials estimate and delivery time frame.
