If you’re not a construction professional or consultant, you might be wondering precisely what role a commercial construction consulting firm will play in your next construction project. Well, mostly, they’ll be the team of people providing you with basic general contracting services. But let’s take a closer look at what this means.

The team from Genesis Construction has outlined some of the key duties of a general contractor, so read on!

Planning

One of the primary responsibilities a general contractor begins with is the planning process of your construction project. They’re responsible for precisely outlining every stage of the project, obtaining the necessary building permits, estimating the cost of various materials, equipment, and labor, as well as creating a timeline with key benchmarks for the project’s completion.

Coordination

There are many different components to a construction project and it’s the general contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all of these components are working together properly. For example, if electrical and HVAC subcontractors are being hired, it’s their responsibility to ensure all of the work is done in a timely and effective manner. They’ll also be responsible for communicating to you any issues or changes in the scope or timeline of your project.

Staffing

It’s the job of a general contractor to make sure that everyone is one site when they’re supposed to be. This means they handle any situations where a team can’t make it for one reason or another, or filling any vacancies so the construction project can move forward as planned. They’re also required to make certain that all of the staff present on-site have the proper training and requirements to be there.

Remaining in Compliance

Nothing can draw a construction project to a halt quicker than if it’s found to be out of compliance with local laws and ordinances. It’s the job of your general contractor to make sure this never happens by strictly adhering to all of the local rules and guidelines for your building project.
