It takes months– even
years– to draft your dream home’s plan and finalize it. In order
to execute what you’ve deliberated on for a long time, you need to
find a general
contractor to oversee and manage the construction of your home.
It’s possible to be your own contractor but it’s a difficult role
to play, especially when you don’t have the time to be onsite for
most of the time.
How demanding can the role
be? Read on to find out the responsibilities of a general contractor:
Interacts with the
architect/s
Architects and general
contractors usually work together to carry out your plans and
visions. They can work together to schedule a feasible timetable to
finish the construction on time.
Manages specialty
contractors
General contractors call in
sub-contractors to work on different specialties like plumbing,
heating, and landscaping. They can gauge what the sub-contractors can
do for you and recommend which ones are the most cost-effective for
you.
Provides skilled labor
Building your home from the
ground up requires expert and capable hands. General contractors
normally have the right skills─ such as carpentry, brickwork, and
masonry─ to handle several construction tasks and accomplish the
project on time.
Sets up necessary
permits and inspections
For safety and compliance,
general contractors coordinate and arrange city permits before they
can build anything on your property. They have intimate knowledge in
applying for permits and accomplishing forms, ensuring that all
processes move as smoothly as possible.
