If you’re planning a project such as a kitchen or bathroom remodel, you may be asking yourself “Do we really need a general contractor?” Every project is different, and there are a few things you should consider:
- How Tight is Your Budget? If you have an extremely tight budget, you may think “I can’t afford to hire anyone else!” The truth is, a General Contractor can help you consider your budget from planning to completion, and make sure you’re not missing anything. An unexpected expense could prolong your project, or even stall it altogether. When you hire someone with experience, they make sure you’re planning for everything – especially the things you may not know you need.
- How Tight is Your Timeline? If you’re trying to get that backyard upgrade before the 4th of July, a General Contractor may be a “must.” When managing several different subcontractors, it can be extremely difficult to keep everything moving smoothly. A GC will manage and balance the schedules of all the workers, ensuring your project stays on it’s timeline. Everyone is busy, so it’s a lot of work – and that’s why you should consider someone to manage this for you.
- How Important is the Quality? A good General Contractor will ensure that the quality of work from each trade (tile, paint, drywall, electrical, plumbing, etc) is top-notch. Should you have any issues with the craftsmanship or quality of the work, the GC becomes your go-to guy that you can direct all your questions and concerns to. They’ll take on the responsibility of a perfectly completed job, so you can rest assured that you’ll get a successful outcome.
