first fix/flip: need gen. contractor (?) and insurance referral

Greetings fellow BP members

I jumped into the deep end and have just accepted a counteroffer on my FIRST fix/flip in colorado (teller county).  the house was in the throws of a major renovation when the owner died; being sold "as is"; but have an "inspection" contingency.  

I am thinking I need a General Contractor and not an inspector to evaluate if work to date has been done correctly and if there are any major red flags.  For example, check: new electric box (no electricity now, wires everywhere!); new furnace (on propane), newly installed windows, plumbing (well and septic) connected to house, but no fixtures (no toilet, sinks, shower). 

House is in Florissant - can anyone recommend a General Contractor - or inspector - to tell me if there are red flags, and maybe an estimate to finish.  

As the house is currently unlivable (from insurance stand point) - what type of insurance can I get (construction insurance?) and can anyone recommend a company. 

I do not currently live in CO; currently do not own a home, so no local company to work with

Thanks so much for your help

Kelly
