...... as ours went AWOL for 2 months. Couldn't find him anywhere!Seriously though it is doubtful that you'll find someone who will do both brickwork and carpentry. You'll need at least 2 tradespersons and assuming the walls are for the house in the picture, a geometra or architect who's plans the builder will follow, to oversea the whole project and make the necessary applications to the comuneOur carpenter has been both reliable and timely, having made all our doors, windows and shutters, but unfortunately you are too away for him. As for builders, hopefully someone here will be able to give you a recommendation, which really is the best way.Best of luck.

as you will require a geometra anyway to draw up plans supervise work and get planning permission which you will require even though there is altready the shell of a house he'll probably be able to present you with one or two builders to make estimates.BTW, Builders don't make doors and windows you'll have to go to a company specialized in this or a carpenter ,we chose the first because i trust a a computerized laser more than a carpenter,we got excellent doors and windows and a good price but there are plenty of these people in abruzzo just go down towards teramo or pescara..none of this you'll be able to do on internet you'll have to go see speak etc.
