A general contractor runs a construction project from start to finish. They plan the work, manage the schedule, and ensure the job follows all building rules. The general contractor talks with property owners, subcontractors, and suppliers in both homes and businesses.
Generally, general contracting means handling every step of a building job. Knowing general contracting helps you see why hiring the right person matters. It can save you time, money, and stress.
A general contractor oversees many parts of the construction process. This includes creating budgets, ordering materials, hiring subcontractors, and ensuring that all work follows local rules. In short, the general contractor is responsible for turning a plan into a finished project.
The general contractor often works as a construction manager or prime contractor. They ensure the construction site is safe, clean, and on track. They may also offer design-build services to handle both design and construction.
Most home improvement projects in New Jersey require permits. A general contractor helps secure these permits and ensures all work follows local building codes. Skipping this step can result in fines or project delays.
