Finding a multi-skilled builder

How do I find a good multi-skilled builder? Are there many or do most builders have a specialism these days?

"It is possible, a general builder may be able to lay bricks, do the carpentry and plaster
But when it comes to electrics and plumbing you need a professional within each trade for signing off and safety purposes"

"The best way to find a multi trade is to ask what services they can offer as you dont want to hire multiple companies to complete work, after giving them a list of jobs you need completed and what it involves hopefully they will be honest and tell you what they cant do. If you are still unsure ask for photos of previous work completed. I hope this helps as i am a multi trades person. Thanks,
Craig."
