Building a house or completing any contracting project is time consuming, complicated, and requires a huge amount of skill to be done properly. Even for an experienced builder with years of knowledge, there are always surprises and problems that can arise and cause a project to get delayed. It might be tempting to hire your neighbor down the road who built the addition on their house, but you should always go with a professional. Hiring an experienced commercial general contractor is the right way to go and there plenty of great reasons to do so.

Save time

There is a plethora of reasons why your project might get delayed, whether it is bad weather or waiting for supplies. But to avoid unnecessary downtime, hiring an experienced general contractor will help you keep your project on track. Every hour that you have someone working on your project costs you, and by hiring someone who can resolve problems quickly, it will save you money overall.

Save money

General contractors are trained and hold huge amounts of knowledge regarding every aspect of a construction project. They should know how to do your job the right way, and at the lowest cost possible. By using a general contractor, you will be sure that you will not need to spend extra money to fix mistakes. Since subcontractors can charge a higher rate for a client versus a general contractor, this is another aspect in which you will save money.
 
Professionals can buy materials in bulk. This means that for the same cost of doing it yourself, by doing so through a general contractor, you can use higher quality materials. General contractors receive the lowest bids and the lowest prices for all aspects related to construction projects which in turn saves you money overall.

Capital

General contractors will always have enough capital on hand to front a project before the client ends up paying in the end. As the client, you should never need to worry about fronting payments for subcontractors as this is the job of your general contractor. General contractors should also be able to deliver within budget or only slightly over, due to reasons that are explained to you.

Relationships with other professionals

In the world of contracting and building projects, there is always more than one person involved. Subcontractors and suppliers are always necessary for a project, and typically respond better to a general contractor. This might be because they have worked together on earlier projects or could even be friends!
 
Subcontractors do not take all projects they are offered and make their own bids. By hiring a general contractor, you have a better chance of receiving the most quality work possible, at the best price.

Licensing and insurance

One huge aspect of building a home is insurance. Insurance will protect you from being liable in case someone becomes injured.
 
Commercial contractors are also licensed by a state board which ensures they know all building codes as well as rules and regulations in your city or state.
