When you’re seeking repair work or adding new construction to your home, one key ingredient to a successful project is hiring a general contractor. Instead of you trying to coordinate with subcontractors yourself, general contractors take a leadership role to ensure everything gets completed on time and done well. Here’s a rundown of the advantages associated with having a general contractor for your next project. 

Why Hire a General Contractor?

1. Create a Single Point of Contact

One of the perks of having a general contractor on your team is that it creates a streamlined system where there is a single person managing all the different aspects of the project. Instead of chasing down subcontractors yourself, the general contractor will be your single point of contact, staying on top of everyone while providing you with regular updates. 

2. Stay Within Code

Another benefit of having a general contractor oversee your project is that they can ensure that all the work is up to code. If you’re keeping an eye on things, you might not be aware of the intricacies of your local code, and as a result, some problems may slip through the cracks. A contractor can help you avoid fines and potential rulings that require you to change your construction. 

3. Better Pricing

Because they’re regular players in the construction industry, general contractors often have the ability to source materials for lower or wholesale prices. Those savings can be passed on to you, helping cut costs on the project. Furthermore, they also might be able to get you better rates on subcontractors or specialists through their ongoing relationships.
