General contractor — General contractor — Professionals
General-contracting leads require organisational capacity as well as trade experience. Providers should confirm the design maturity, procurement model and subcontract boundaries before committing to a single delivery programme or lump-sum offer.
Service scope
A project-delivery service in which one appointed contractor manages an agreed building scope and coordinates subcontracted packages. The appointment must define construction, procurement and design interfaces; a commercial general-contractor role is not automatically every regulated project role.
What is normally included
- Coordination of the contracted work packages
- Site programme and subcontract interfaces
- Project handover within the appointment
What is not included
- Unspecified design liability
- Automatic assumption of statutory roles across all markets
Qualification checks
- Review all tender documents
- Identify missing package interfaces
- Confirm design and procurement duties
- Agree change and reporting procedures
- Check resources against the proposed programme
Quote guidance
Present a package-based price with clear exclusions and provisional allowances. Separate pre-construction services where necessary and explain how design changes, client-supplied items and incomplete information affect the offer.
Lead risks
- Client-supplied packages may not align with the contractor programme
- Unresolved design can turn a fixed-price request into repeated variations
