In any commercial construction project, a general contractor is an absolute must. He is the person who overlooks the smooth functioning of the project. He is responsible for a number of duties, like purchasing the needed equipment, hiring manpower, subcontractors, obtaining licenses etcetera. They understand your specifications about the project and devotes themselves towards its timely completion, whilst getting you the best of facilities. This enables you to concentrate on other businesses, without having to worry a lot about the construction.
Most contractors include the other expenditure variables like subcontractor fees, equipment costs etcetera in their fee, so you don’t have to worry about paying again and again. You can make one final payment at the end of the project, and that covers it all. However, it is very important to find a professional general contractor. Here are three absolute must haves for a general contractor:
• If you are looking for the best general contractor, pick a person who has wide experience in construction projects. Inexperienced contractors often do an incompetent job. High quality work comes only from experience, and this cannot be compromised upon. He must at least have a year of experience to be considered worthy. Also, experienced contractors will have a plan of action ready for the project. They will do their work in a systematic way, saving time and money.
• The second thing a contractor must have is a portfolio page that exhibits their past projects. This will give you a window to their previous work, and you can form an opinion on whether he is up to the job or not. If he has worked only on small housing constructions, he may not be able to handle a large shopping complex construction deal. Hiring an incompetent contractor will hurt your project and waste money. Also, the contractor must have a solid educational degree to support his profession.
• Finally, make sure to check if the contractor is offering insurance coverage. A professional contractor will offer his guaranteed services without even being questioned about it. Liability insurance is a must since it covers all the services being used. A licensed and guaranteed commercial general contractor will be confident in his work, and you will receive top quality services.
Remember the above points before hiring any general contractor for your project, and you are sure to receive nothing but the best service for your money!
