Unfortunately, hiring the “right contractor” can appear daunting to many homeowners because they are unfamiliar with the entire remodeling or renovation process. So here is a quick overview from start to finish.

  1. The homeowner hires an architect/designer to create the project blueprints.
  2. The homeowner submits plans to the city/province for approval.
  3. The homeowner receives contractor/subcontractor bids based on approved plans.
  4. The homeowner obtains the building permit.
  5. The homeowner hires/schedules/supervises the needed contractors.
  6. The homeowner schedules all required inspections.
  7. The homeowner pays all the material and labor invoices.
  8. The exhausted homeowner enjoys their completed project.

Alternatively, the homeowner can hire a residential general contractor to handle steps two through seven and go directly to enjoying their completed project (without the stress or exhaustion).

This process is sometimes called “residential project management,” primarily when the general contractor does not provide direct labor or materials for a project. Instead, they manage the suppliers and contractors to meet client expectations and completion dates.

Another option for homeowners is the “design-build” model, in which the general contractor acts as the singular contact point throughout the remodel or renovation process. In this scenario, the general contractor works directly with the architect/designer to eliminate step one for the homeowner.

General Contracting Projects

Many homeowners mistakenly assume that residential general contractors only work on new home construction or additions. While that might be the case for other contractors, here at A-10 Contracting  we’re ready to assist you with a variety of home improvement projects.

Residential Renovation Projects

  • Partial residential renovations involve changing a section or floor to improve traffic flow or meet changing family needs.
  • Full residential renovation projects where every room in the house is modified,  upgraded, or reconfigured.
  • Kitchen renovations for entertaining guests, creating family memories, or releasing your inner chef.
  • Bathroom renovations that create the spa-like experience you want and deserve.
  • Basement remodels (including walkouts and separate entrances) that create usable square footage for a workout or meditation space, a much-needed guestroom, or even a home office.
