A carpenter comes to my house to do small jobs and I pay him for each job. He is happy to do it because the pay helps to support his family of five. One day I decide I want a new house with a pool. I tell him I will purchase him the materials and provide his equipment to get the job done. He only has to work 4 days a week, and gets the other three off. On top of that, I give him 3 delicious meals a day and at least a 2hr break for lunch, in which he has a small garage apartment with a a bed, shower, cable tv, and air condition to retreat to. I even have a contractor come put out and set up the largest tent you have ever seen, so that he doesn't ever have to work in the sun. It will take him about 1 year to complete the work. I offer that once the job is done, I'll even let his family come play in the pool once a week for the next year. He has arguably the best work conditions he will ever come across in his lifetime. This job will definitely be a pleasure for him, and he will gain an amazing amount of strength, experience, and skill for having done so. At the same time, he has to sign a contract agreeing that he will not work any other job during this time period.

As you should with your project.
You would be surprised at how many homeowners try to through shit out there, pretty close to your scenario...
That's why I love Commercial Construction... I can almost pay a hooker these days.
You better hope they all get along if you choose to stick with plan "A".
