What Is a General Contractor?

General contractors are often known as project managers. They oversee the entire remodeling or construction project and facilitate all day-to-day tasks that move it toward completion. A Texas general contractor will work with your architect to review plans and ensure everything is in place before work is started as well as arrange for permits and necessary inspections. While a good general contractor will have the skills to handle certain tasks onsite, such as carpentry, he or she is also responsible for hiring subcontractors for the majority of jobs, such as electrical work, painting or plumbing. In addition, the general contractor should be onsite regularly to inspect the progress and resolve issues.
