What is a General Contractor
A general contractor makes a contract with the property owner to take full responsibility of completing a home renovation or home addition project. Also known as a builder, remodeling contractor or building contractor, a general contractor usually handles most medium and large construction jobs. A contractor is responsible for hiring a tradesman, providing all the material, equipment (such as engineering vehicles and tools) and other services required for construction of a project. Specialized subcontractors are hired who directly work under the supervision of the general contractor to complete the construction work.
Choosing a general contractor wisely can play a crucial role in the successful completion of your project. In fact, even having good contracts, plans and construction documents may not be able to save you from a manager who lacks to coordinate a project with skill and integrity. Always choose a contractor who you trust and are comfortable working with. For this, taking the decision for paying a little extra to hire the right person will not be regretted.
