The functions of the general contractor

A company that runs all the construction processes to establish continuous work is called the general contractor. She monitors the timing of the work and is obliged to establish such an interaction between brigades and specialists, which leads to quick and efficient construction.

The general contractor assumes all the risks associated with contracts with subcontractors, quality of work. The most important thing is that it is the risk of going beyond the set dates. Thus, the customer frees himself from trouble and worries, assigning them to a reliable company.

What should the general contractor do when the contract with him is concluded? First, he forms a planned document on construction. This document includes the deadline for the performance of work, the decision to organize the construction process, all the necessary design and technological documentation, design estimates and drawings. The general contractor organizes not only design and construction work, but also the work of subcontractor organizations, controls compliance with the norms and requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, ensure labor protection, fire safety, and environmental protection. It is the general contractor who surrenders the constructed object of the acceptance commission and the customer.

Since the general contractor develops a single work schedule, this reduces the construction time and saves customer funds. The general contractor who has been working for a long time has many connections with highly qualified subcontractors. This, of course, promises a high quality of work.

When the customer resorts to the assistance of the general contract, he can reduce the period of entry into possession of the built object — after all, organizations providing such services have extensive experience in the preparation of the necessary documents.

Of course, the services of the general contractor are not cheap, but the quality of work, their coherence and quick delivery times will always be the key to the payback of invested funds.
