What a General Contractor Does
A general contractor manages the entire construction process on your behalf: planning, permits, materials, subcontractors, scheduling, code compliance, and quality control. Hiring a qualified general contractor means that you don’t have to coordinate plumbers, electricians, framers, and inspectors yourself. We handle the moving parts so you can focus on the finished result.
Our general contracting services include:
- Final inspections and walkthrough
- Project planning and budgeting
- Permits and code compliance
- Site preparation and concrete foundations
- Framing including custom timber framing
- Subcontractor management: electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and roofing
- Carpentry, siding, windows, and doors
- Interior and exterior finishes
