General contractors in the commercial construction industry provide a wide variety of services. These services include turnkey projects, new construction, interior fit-outs, site improvements and renovations. On occasion, a general contractor even takes over a project that’s already underway.
A contractor who’s been plying his trade locally for five or 10 years has an established network of subcontractors and suppliers and a solid reputation to uphold. That makes them a safe bet.
Among the many questions to ask a general contractor, this is the big one. Licensing is an important aspect of many industries, and construction is no exception.
It’s important for you to have a clear picture of when the contractor will begin and end work on your project, especially if you have a deadline in mind.
