Obtaining permits.
When you hire a general contractor like Build-Pros Construction, you won’t have to worry about obtaining permits or inspections for the job. They will make sure that all municipal permits and approvals are taken care of for you and that everything is built to recent building code.
Scheduling of trades and sub-contractors.
For your major custom home renovation, you’ll need to have several skilled trades people working on different aspects of the project. A general contractor will manage and schedule everyone that will be working in your home including plumbers, electricians, framers, drywallers, painters and others. They will make sure that each job is done in the most efficient order and that the subcontractors hired are experienced with a proven track record of quality work. This takes a huge job off your plate.
Project management and open communication.
Hiring and managing sub-trades is just part of managing your large-scale renovation project. When you hire a builder or general contractor, you will have a site supervisor or the general contractor specifically, on the job and staying in touch without throughout the entire project. They’ll give you updates on the work being done throughout the entire process and keep you in the loop when decisions need to be made. If you have any questions or concerns, your general contractor is there to answer them for you quickly and clearly.

Safety and clean-up.
A good general contractor will make sure that the work site is safe for both the workers and homeowners. They will also make sure to limit the disruption of your home life. That includes cleaning up as best as they can daily. If you have specific expectations for daily clean up, make sure to discuss this with them.
