General contractor
What is a general contractor?
A general contractor, also known as the project manager, is a specialized company or entity that takes full responsibility for a construction or renovation project, from the design phase to the final delivery of the "turnkey" project. Their primary role is to centralize project management and coordinate all stakeholders, including architects, engineers, and various construction firms (structural work, finishing work, etc.). The general contractor is responsible for ensuring the smooth progress of the project, the quality of the work, and adherence to agreed deadlines and budgets.
The main responsibilities of a general contractor include:
- Comprehensive project management: From the initial project study to final delivery, the general contractor handles all project management phases, ensuring optimal coordination.
- Compliance with standards: They ensure that the work complies with applicable regulations (safety standards, accessibility, environmental guidelines, etc.).
- Cost management: The general contractor is committed to adhering to the established budget and avoiding unforeseen financial overruns.
- Coordination of stakeholders: They manage communication and interaction among all project participants to prevent delays and ensure consistency throughout the work.
Why hire a general contractor?
Entrusting your project to a general contractor offers several significant advantages, especially for large-scale or complex projects:
- A single point of contact for simplified project management
A general contractor provides you with a single point of contact for the entire project. This centralization simplifies communication and reduces the risks of misunderstandings between different stakeholders.
2. Timely completion management
With effective coordination between different service providers, the general contractor is able to better control execution timelines. They also ensure adherence to set schedules, which is crucial for projects requiring rapid or specific delivery dates.
3. Guaranteed work quality
The general contractor is responsible for the quality and compliance of the work done. As a professional, they ensure that all phases follow technical and regulatory standards, guaranteeing the durability and safety of the installations.
4. Optimized management of unforeseen issues
In case of problems or unexpected events during the construction, the general contractor can respond quickly and effectively to find solutions, minimizing the impact on the schedule or budget.
