    • In charge of managing the project budget, which includes analyzing spending, controlling cash flow, and making modifications as needed to keep the project on schedule.
    • Must ensure that the building site is safe and secure for personnel and visitors. This involves adhering to all safety standards as well as providing all required safety equipment and training.
    • Responsible for ensuring that all work completed by subcontractors and suppliers meets high-quality standards. This involves inspecting the work regularly and making any required adjustments.
    • Must successfully communicate with customers, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers to ensure that everyone is on the same page and the project is moving along smoothly.
    • It is the responsibility of general contractors to secure all necessary permits and approvals from local and state regulatory bodies. Building permits, zoning permits, and environmental permits are all included.
    • Frequently recruit and manage subcontractors to execute specific jobs throughout the building process, such as plumbers, electricians, and carpenters. They must ensure that all subcontractors are qualified, licensed, and insured.
