What does a commercial general contractor do?

A commercial general contractor manages and oversees the construction of commercial projects, such as office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities. Their responsibilities include:

Project Planning: Developing detailed plans, schedules, and budgets.
Permitting: Obtaining necessary permits and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Subcontracting: Hiring and managing subcontractors for specialized tasks.
Supervision: Overseeing daily construction activities to ensure quality and adherence to plans.
Procurement: Sourcing and purchasing materials and equipment.
Safety: Implementing safety protocols to protect workers and comply with regulations.
Coordination: Acting as the main point of contact for clients, architects, and other stakeholders.
Completion: Ensuring the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the client’s satisfaction.

Helping you make the right decisions

General contractors guide clients through numerous construction decisions, such as selecting materials, finishes, and making adjustments, all while maintaining quality and budget. This requires extensive trade knowledge, and your general contractor will help you make the right choices. At Toronto Height Construction, we often engage in the pre-design phase, offering estimates and site-planning assistance, leading to cost savings and efficient scheduling. Unlike traditional contractors who rely on multiple subcontractors, we utilize our internal teams to complete most tasks

What is the difference between general & sub-contractor?

General Contractor:

Role: Manages the overall construction project, overseeing all aspects from start to finish.
Responsibilities:
- Project planning and scheduling.
- Budget management.
- Hiring and coordinating subcontractors.
- Obtaining permits and ensuring compliance with regulations.
- Communicating with clients and stakeholders.
- Ensuring the project is completed on time and within budget.
Scope of Work: Broad, covering all phases of the construction process, including coordination of various trades and services.

Subcontractor:

Role: Specializes in a specific area of construction, hired by the general contractor to perform particular tasks.
Responsibilities:
- Completing specific work as outlined in the subcontract (e.g., electrical, plumbing, framing).
- Ensuring their part of the project meets quality standards and deadlines.
- Coordinating with the general contractor and other subcontractors as needed.
Scope of Work: Narrow, focused on their area of expertise within the larger project.

In summary, while the general contractor oversees the entire project, subcontractors focus on specialized tasks within that project, working under the direction of the general contractor.
