In the commercial construction industry, general contractors provide services that take your project from concept to completion. They are responsible for planning and overseeing the construction project from start to finish.
Work includes hiring, supervising and managing subcontractors as well as our own team. After project initiation, we apply cost control, change management, and scheduling services to plan and deliver a timely and cost-effective construction project.
In this blog, we have explained the process we follow as a general contractor.
Preparation of design and specifications
Preparation of designs and specifications is a very important process in commercial construction. These are project blueprints that help us organize the methods we will use to deliver the project. It also highlights all the essential features of the structure to be constructed.
During this phase, the architect and engineers create drawings and specifications that will be used to construct the building. In order to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget, it is important that all stakeholders are involved in the design process and that the design is finalized before construction begins.
At BelVan Construction, we encourage the Owner to be involved with our design team during this phase.
Once the BelVan Construction design team develops the design and specifications, they will then move on to acquiring sub-trade and supplier pricing.
This is one of the most crucial aspects of a successful commercial construction project. Our team works hard to get an accurate estimate of the overall cost of the project by negotiating the best possible deals with the best suppliers. By getting multiple bids, we ensure that we have the best price and quality possible for the work that needs to be done.
