General
contracting.

The classic engagement: you hire one company, that company is responsible for everything. Subcontractor selection, schedule, quality, safety, and the closeout document binder. The owner deals with one entity.

What makes general contracting work or fail isn't the contract structure — it's whether the GC actually has direct control over the critical-path trades or has to call a subcontractor for every problem. Our self-perform roofing, electrical, and demolition crews are why our GC scope holds schedule.

GC contract structures.

Lump-Sum+

Fixed-price contract based on construction documents. Most common on completed-design projects. Owner gets price certainty; contingency lives in the GC's price.

Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)+

Cap on total project cost. Open-book subcontractor buyout, shared savings below GMP. Common on projects where design is still developing or scope may shift mid-build.

Cost-Plus+

Owner pays actual cost plus a fee. Used when scope is highly uncertain or when the owner wants full visibility into pricing without GMP cap structure.

Preconstruction Phase+

Estimating, value engineering, and constructibility review. Included in negotiated contracts; available as standalone service. See Preconstruction.

Self-Perform Backbone+

Critical-path trades in-house. Roofing, electrical, and demolition delivered by our own crews. Schedule control and quality ownership where it matters most.

Other delivery models.

GC is one of several engagement structures. Choice depends on project size, scope clarity, and risk allocation.

General contracting
questions.

What's the difference between lump-sum and GMP?+

Lump-sum is a fixed price based on construction documents — price certainty for the owner. GMP is a cap on total cost with open-book buyout below it — price certainty with transparency.

When is cost-plus appropriate?+

When scope is genuinely uncertain or the owner wants full pricing visibility without GMP cap structure. Less common than lump-sum or GMP on commercial work.

Do you self-perform any trades?+

Yes. Roofing, electrical, and demolition are self-performed by our in-house crews. That control is the difference between a GC who escalates a problem and a GC who fixes it.

What's your typical GC project size?+

Range from $500K boutique TI through $30M+ multi-family. Most projects fall between $2M and $15M.

How long does a typical GC engagement take?+

Depends on scope. Tenant improvement runs 2–6 months. Ground-up multi-family typically 14–18 months for a 200-unit wood-frame project.
