Well, if it was me, I would look elsewhere.
However, having said that, our neighbors had undertaken a number of projects with unlicensed contracts and not have a problem. And they have made it clear they would never ever use a license contractor. They also don't get permits. Sadly, having done my addition with a licensed contractor and permits, I understand that. Some of our local building codes just don't make sense.
Undertaking a project as large as the OP has indicated, I can't imagine not doing it 100% by the book and abiding by relevant codes and obtaining licensed, bonded, insured contractors. A big project like that which is discovered by the relevant municipality not to be properly permitted/licensed can shut down all work, issue fines, the works.
And I couldn't fathom taking any kind of risk where I'm the one holding the bag for any injury or related problem incurred by anyone working on the job. That's playing with fire.
