Every successful commercial building project requires the participation of several key personnel, including the owner, architect, and general contractor. In commercial construction projects, a construction general contractor is responsible for ensuring the entire project runs smoothly.

A general contractor is typically responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing a construction project from #PreConstruction to #DuringConstruction to final delivery – regardless of scope.

General contractors are also responsible for creating project timetables, purchasing work permits, overseeing subcontractors, and ensuring that the project complies with all state and local building requirements.

A responsible construction plan ensures that the project is completed within a reasonable timeframe and budget and often includes:

  • Making a Project Plan
  • Subcontractor vetting
  • Equipment and material requirement identification

2. Executing the Project

A general contractor’s duties demand a strong attention to details, including:

  • Assigning a project team that is well suited to the project’s size and industry

An experienced general contractor plays a critical role on any project team. It’s important to consider a contractor’s track record to ensure overall seamless coordination.
