Knowing that most of the work done on a building project is carried out by sub contractors, why would a homeowner hire a construction contractor? The answer is actually quite obvious. When you are contemplating a major project, perhaps adding rooms, and you know that type of work requires skills and equipment that you don’t possess, the wise DIYer knows it is time to turn to the pros.
Think of undertaking a major project as if it was planning for the marriage of your daughter. You would not think for a minute that the wedding coordinator should bake the cake or play the music, for the same reason you would not think that construction contractors in San Antonio should look after the plumbing or wire the extension. Both the wedding planner and the construction contractor are paid because they have a unique understanding of their business and they know where to get the skills that are necessary to ensure a perfect result.
Shouldn’t contractors have skilled staff?
The answer to this question is based on the size of the construction company. Whether or not the contractor has employees or hires sub-contractors is strictly an economic decision. Employees are ideal when there is a consistent workload but if not, sub contractors are the ideal solution. An electrical contractor will invariably have full time employees as he works on numerous projects as a sub, construction contractors in San Antonio may only have one major project going at any one time so it makes no sense to have direct employees.
The responsibilities of the contractor:
The construction contractor is responsible for the quality of the work, if one of the sub contractors should do something wrong or their work is not up to the expected standard it is the construction contractor’s job to get it fixed and fixed right. Because construction contractors have done it all before, they know how to plan and execute the project so that it comes in on time, on budget and to the complete satisfaction of the homeowner.
Construction contractors in San Antonio take the responsibility of seeing that your project is done properly and on budget.
