Often building a house or business building can be fairly complicated and require many experts in architectural design, building regulations and laws to be successful. One of these experts generally include a building contractor which help oversee the construction process. There are two types of building contractors: residential building contractors and commercial building contractors. We at CD Construction Group, are the leading commercial construction company in Sydney and handle commercial building contracts unlike any other. With such a crucial part in your project, you should understand the exact responsibilities of your building contractor, and how they benefit you.
Project planning
Like every project, planning is crucial to its success. A well detailed plan can keep costs to a minimum and finish the project in a timely manner. When creating a project plan, the building contractor determines the construction equipment and material requirements- predicting any possible changes to minimise risk. During the planning stage, they establish effective communication to all other participants in the project- including owners and architects. A strict budget is highly important in a construction project, as it is a useful tool to track project costs- detecting economical waste.
Management
Time management is a key responsibility for building contractors. The contractor needs to be able to manage the project efficiently and effectively enough for it to be done in according to the project plan- which involves many different management activities. During the management stage, a contractor ensures there are enough available funds to continue the project; helps purchase the required materials and manages the transport of these materials to the building site; rents construction equipment; and hires subcontractors for specialised tasks. In doing so, the contractor must make sure there is a sufficient number of staff with the right skills to complete the job.
Tracking progress
This responsibility ties into management, where the contractor must track that there is sufficient progress being made for everything to finish on time. In addition, building contractors help prevent disruptions through quality control; ensuring a constant supply for sufficient materials; using cost effective construction techniques; and ensure that the construction site is holding to safety regulations at all times. They must always have an idea of the project time and budget when making decisions.
Legal issues
Building contractors in Sydney do not just handle the construction aspect, but also the legal issues as well. When planning, building contractors must acquire the required permits and licenses to ensure the project is legal and serves to follow any regulations.
