Tips for working with a general contracting company
Establishing a working relationship with a general contracting company for various
purposes is not as difficult as it sounds. It takes a serious effort to find a company
to handle general contracting for new construction, build outs, and renovations. A
renovation or new building project involves a lot of time, money, and effort from
all parties, so it is important to make sure all parties are on the same page from
the beginning.
Establishing the contract for the project is an important element to take care of at
the start of the project. Project contracts are usually fixed price contracts, which
lays out the total cost of the entire project and any associated fees. Some projects
require what is known as a cost plus percent contract, which lays out the total cost
of project materials, the project major, and an additional percentage for the
general contracting company to profit from the work.
