When we talk about renovation projects, we often hear about architects, designers, plumbers, and general contractors. But what does a general contractor actually do? And why is their role so essential?
The job of a general contractor is to manage, coordinate, and ensure that everything is in place for the construction project to run smoothly. They will support you from start to finish, orchestrating every stage of your project.
What does he actually do?
1. Plan the construction site
He establishes the project stages, schedule, material orders, and various labor requirements.
2. Coordinate all parties involved in the construction project
He selects the appropriate subcontractors (plumber, electrician, roofer, etc.), coordinates their presence on site, and ensures that everyone complies with the plans and specifications of the project.
3. Ensure compliance with standards
He ensures that everything complies with the Quebec Building Code, the permit obtained, and safety standards.
4. Manage unexpected events
He keeps you informed and offers quick solutions if any surprises arise during the work.
5. Monitor the quality of the work
The general contractor will ensure that the final result meets your expectations and professional standards.
Why is it important to work with a general contractor?
Because a good general contractor frees you from a huge mental burden. You don’t have to chase after different tradespeople, approve each delivery, or make sure everything is running smoothly on the construction site. They take care of all that for you.
At Construction Rubix, we do more than just site management.
We build a relationship of trust with our clients and partners by getting involved from the very beginning of the project. Our role is to advise you, validate feasibility, adjust plans as needed, and guide you toward the right choices.
And because we work as a team with our sister company Point Design, an architecture and interior design firm, we ensure a smooth transition between the design and implementation phases of your project. Fewer intermediaries, less information loss, greater consistency, and above all, greater peace of mind for you.
