Knowledge, experience, quality, reliability, and assumed liability. These are the primary benefits of hiring a general contractor to oversee your project. A good general contractor will bring his knowledge and expertise to your project, which, in turn, will provide you with the benefit of having peace of mind for the duration of your project.
If you are considering acting as general contractor for your project, the most important thing you need to know is that, by doing so, you assume all liability for injuries and property damage. A general contractor provides the licensing, insurance, and worker’s compensation your project will need to avoid such risks. The general contractor is also responsible for the quality of the work. If anything goes wrong during construction, it is up to the general contractor to fix it. The cost of these repairs will not come out of your pocket, but out of the contract budget.
A good general contractor will also bring experience and knowledge to your project. This ensures that you get reliable, quality subcontractors and services, and keeps you from “learning the hard way” if something goes wrong. Experience simply means that, from the planning stages of your project, to the finishing touches, the general contractor knows what should happen and when, and ensures adherence to deadlines, project workflow, and final cleanup.
