This is why I never want to build a house. I'd seriously pay someone with superior interpersonal skills and construction knowledge to handle all this shit for me. Startup idea?

That's called a general contractor.

its an architect/designer who designs it, not the general contractor who builds it.

If your general contractor is picking wall assemblies you have skipped the planning stage, and you will have poor results because of this.
