Tips on How to Get the Best Work from Your General Contractor

When working with a general contractor, there are 3 important things to keep in mind to ensure your project is a success:

1- Establish Good Communication

When working with a contractor, establish how you will communicate about the job.  How and when they will answer your questions, for example:

  • Speak with your contractor weekly to check on progress
  • Approve or Change items during weekly meetings

By establishing clear channels of communication and a regular schedule for checking on progress, you can be sure your project will stay on deadline and on budget.

2-Track All Changes

Any good general contractor will be able to handle job changes, such as running into structural issues or communicating when additional work is needed as the project evolves, so be sure to keep track of the project timeline and progress. You can also jot down questions you have about the project, which will help you to feel more connected to and involved with the progress of the job.

3-Be Clear About Budget

It’s acceptable to speak to your contractor regularly about your budget; don’t be afraid to be clear and up front with what you can afford. Knowing your budget lets your contractor know where you stand with regards to your overall plan and then work within the framework of the price.

The more your contractor knows about your budget, timeline and expectations, the more satisfied you will be with the end product.

How to Stay on Top of Your Project

Staying on top of your project is not the easiest task for a working business owner, but it is important and necessary to ensure your project is completed the way you desire. Here are some tips to help you keep up with your project.

Be present in the planning stages.

 The more you are involved in the planning stages of your project, the more informed you will be. You will likely be able to avoid certain issues and come up with cost-effective ideas and strategies.

Hold regular meetings.

Always stay in the loop and up to date on the progress of your project. Have any issues come up? Will the project be complete by the deadline? Are you satisfied with the progress?

Have a contingency plan.

An issue in your project could arise at any given moment. You must be prepared for the unexpected. A construction contingency is an amount of money set aside to cover any unexpected costs that can arise throughout a project. This money is on reserve and is not allocated to any specific area of work. Most projects will use a rate of around 5-10% of the total budget for contingencies.
