Why You Need a General Contractor

One of the most important aspects of a Design Build project is the General Contractor.  A good General Contractor will ensure that your project is managed from beginning to end.  

The General Contractor will work closely with the Architect and Engineer through the planning and permitting process.  Planning and permitting with local municipalities is key to getting your project started off on the right foot.  If not done properly and professionally, overlooking something in this step could cost time and money.  A good General Contractor with experience, will have insight and knowledge of codes and regulations which can prevent snags and hold-ups as the project gets underway.

The General Contractor will hire subcontractors to complete various jobs within the project.  In addition to communicating with these subcontractors to ensure all details are tended to and needs are fulfilled, the General Contractor will coordinate the work schedule.  This ensures that the project is moving forward and staying on track, which will play a major role in keeping you within budget and on time.

Communication is key to every successful building project, and equally important to all parties involved, including owners, subcontractors, inspectors, municipalities, and support vendors. Communication serves to keep the project on track, eliminate stress amongst subcontractors, and ease any anxiety and concern of the owner.
