Heres What General Contractors Do
There are different types of contractors in the world of construction, but in the end, it comes down to general contractors and subcontractors. As it sounds, subcontractors are a tier below general contractors and are generally responsible for specific aspects of any given project. Subcontractors include roles like roofers, electricians, framers, and others. The real question, though, is what is it that general contractors do, and what responsibilities do they have? That is also the same question the attached video tackles.
Here is a look at those answers and a basic concept of the role and responsibilities of general contractors.
General contractors undeniably have the most difficult, stressful, and important job of all contractors. From start to finish, every aspect of the job completion falls on the shoulders of the general contractor. General contractors are also responsible for scheduling crews, paying subcontractors, and managing the obligation of adhering to all construction codes and regulations. In a word, what general contractors do, or more accurately, what they are responsible for, is everything. From hiring the right subcontractors to providing owners with updates and meeting deadlines, general contractors run the show, and the show must go on. Yes, general contractors have a big job, but when the show is a hit and the construction project shines, they are also the stars of the show!.
