General contracting is the comprehensive management of construction projects, covering every stage from initial planning to final completion. A General Contractor (GC) serves as the central figure in this process, coordinating all moving parts to ensure that the project meets the client’s expectations in terms of design, budget, and timeline. This includes supervising subcontractors, sourcing materials, scheduling tasks, maintaining quality standards, and adhering to safety regulations. The GC plays a critical role in translating architectural plans into a finished structure, acting as the bridge between the client, designers, suppliers, and on-site workers. Their expertise and oversight are essential to delivering a smooth, efficient, and successful build.

• Project Planning: Collaborating with architects and engineers to develop comprehensive project plans.
