Brenda,
I might add that the term "good builder" is fairly relative. The custom home process is quite an experience, and there will be frustrations and disappointments even with the best builder.
It largely depends A) on the project type [the house and site]; and B) on your compatibility with the builder. He might have been a resounding success on clients A & B projects - but a complete disaster for client C.
In addition to seeking individuals who have used these builders - I would talk to the architects and engineers who have worked with these builders (and builders) on multiple projects. There experience by volume could prove valuable in your planning and selection process.
You might try 'Synergy D&C' which handles your design, finds the best builder, and serves as your advocate during construction to make the process as painless for you as possible.
