General Contractors
ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS:
A qualified general contractor can reduce the stress of a whole room renovation or home addition.
A General Contractor is a building project manager that has a deep understanding of the construction process and how to manage suppliers and labourers on behalf of homeowners.
A general contractor typically oversees all project details, hires, and schedules subcontractors, inspects subcontractor work, orders supplies and oversees their installation, and helps to resolve design issues with interior designers or architects.
General Contractor Associations
While there are some trade or vocational schools that offer General Contractor training, there are four organizations that represent General Contractors in North America: Associated General Contractors (AGC), Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA), the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and eRenovate.
