Have you ever tried to plan a renovation by hiring every trade yourself? A plumber here, an electrician there, a drywall crew, a flooring installer, someone for the finishing touches. It sounds like a way to save money, but it can turn into a full time job very quickly.
That is where a general contractor comes in. Here is what we do and why it can make your project so much easier.
What a general contractor does
A general contractor manages your whole project from start to finish. That includes:
- Planning the work and the order it happens in
- Scheduling each trade at the right time
- Ordering materials
- Handling permits and inspections when needed
- Keeping the job on budget and on schedule
- Checking the quality of the work
- Being your one point of contact
The benefits for you
Less stress
You do not have to chase five different people for updates. You have one number to call and one team that knows everything about your project.
Better timing
Renovations happen in steps. The plumber and electrician need to finish before the walls close, and the walls need to be done before the floors and paint. When one team runs the schedule, there are fewer delays and less waiting around.
Clear responsibility
When different companies work on the same job, it can be hard to know who is responsible if something goes wrong. With one contractor, there is no finger pointing.
A cleaner budget
You get one quote that covers the full job, so it is easier to see where your money is going.
