A person managing a construction project is a general contractor. They could be on the site, or in the office. The attached video describes what a typical day is like.
General contractors have an early start. They usually report to the office and check the day’s schedule. They’ll also check messages. Any material that’s needed for a particular site is purchased. This could be flooring, tiles, bricks, and other necessary items. The contractor must ensure it’s within the client’s budget and taste. Contractors have trailers or trucks to transport equipment and material.
Any work that must be finished offsite, such as door remodeling, is also completed. General contractors ensure that they have the proper tools to do a good job for their clients. The general contractor also needs to work out the estimates. This is the process of calculating costs associated with the project. Regular meetings are also held with clients and sub-contractors to ensure a smooth workflow.
When the day is done, the contractor has time to attend to their personal needs. General contractors are responsible for a wide range of tasks, and no two days are alike.
