Hi and sad to hear you have had health issues, hope you are feeling on the up soon. I can't give advice on the new shop you are talking about but what I would suggest is go and pay a visit, ask if you can have a look at some of their work on the go and maybe a finished frame. Look at the general upkeep of the shop, is it clean and tidy with everything placed in an orderly fashion. Why I say this is that I found that people who take pride in their workshop appearance tend to produce good work. If you like what you see and the owner is friendly then ask him about your plans and one off build showing him or her any drawings you have. There is absolutely no harm in politely asking and if you get a good reception then that will help you make further decisions.

From what I've told the place is pretty impressive. I've been wanting to stop in, but between my and my wife's health issues it's not been possible. I'm working on a more detailed DXF to send them, and when both of us are better I hope to make it there in person.
