General Contracting
Both new projects and improvements can be a daunting commitment
And unless you are highly skilled in electrical wiring, concrete, and construction; you should turn to professionals to get the job done right. But finding the appropriate professionals to help you complete the job can be a major task in itself. If you are considering a major project, you need to determine what exactly you want done. If your job requires a specific kind of work, like installing a secure perimeter or engineering a complete high security access entry point – you’ll probably need a contractor who specializes in the area. Hiring a General Contractor is probably a better choice.
General Contracting Services
General contractors are responsible for managing all aspects of your project, including hiring and supervising subcontractors, getting building permits, ordering supplies, and scheduling inspections. These contractors oversee all subcontractors to ensure that the job is done efficiently and to your satisfaction. They will act as your main contact throughout the project, and should be able to both explain any step of the work you need to know about as well as communicate your specific ideas for the project to the appropriate service provider.
Benefits of Hiring a General Contractor
Hiring a general contractor is usually done for convenience and efficiency. In nearly any circumstances, these contractors will save you time, probably several days, on the project’s duration. The hassle of having half a dozen contractors is bad enough, but without a guiding force, it can quickly become a nightmare. A project that should take only three days might end taking three weeks simply from scheduling and rescheduling various subcontractors.
Like with most things, time is money. Many subcontractors will charge a higher rate or charge per hour when they have to coordinate their work on a large project directly through the client. Moreover, general contracting services also usually include access to products bought in bulk that individual consumers might have to purchase at a higher price. This will get you a better deal on materials, and will give your job the customized look you desire.
What Are the Contractor’s Responsibilities?
But they also bring tangible, necessary things to the job: a license, insurance and worker’s compensation. If you act as the general contractor yourself, you assume liability for injuries and property damage.
Perhaps the most stress relief comes from the fact that the general contractor is responsible for the quality of all the work they oversee as part of the contract. If something goes wrong during the construction, it’s up to the general contractor to get it fixed. The cost of those repairs comes out of the contract budget, not your pocket.
Knowledge of building codes, appropriate materials, proper construction methods and safety — both during and after construction — also is a key resource that a general contractor brings to your project. This knowledge saves you the time and trouble of having to learn when it’s too cold to pour concrete, how long caulk should cure before it’s painted. This knowledge also lets a contractor know which subcontractors are reputable and reliable, and which ones no one should ever hire.
Contractors also have one big advantage you don’t: They’ve done it before. From initial planning to final cleanup, contractors manage workflow like conductors manage orchestras. They understand the structure of the composition, they cue different players when it’s their turn to take the lead, and they probably have experience with at least a few tools of the trade. If you’ve done your homework and hired well, your general contractor will keep the work flowing and the crews busy throughout the entire course of the project.

Client Testimonials
Paul and his team are excellent at addressing challenges thrown at them. They do not make excuses on why things cannot be done; they solve problem for you by doing what can be done. When we were in a bind, Paul would throw resources at our project to make sure we were successful. Their attitude is a great fit for our high-visibility and high-maintenance project in San Francisco. Additionally, Golden Bay’s crew cared for installed work by others, and took great care to make sure their metals were protected during transport. I would definitely like to work with them again.

I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to Mike and his crew of workers ( Golden Bay Fence Plus ) for installing the new fences at Rio Vista. Thank Mike and his crew for their hard work and dedication since June 16, 2022. I’ve seen lots of contracted crews at Rio Vista in the years that I have worked here. They would leave the place unkept, tools left out, gates left open etc. Mike’s crew has always been polite, professional, well mannered and gentlemen. Not one time did they leave any of the areas that they were working at unkept, they cleaned up and made sure the gates were closed and locked. If it were left up to me I would have Mikes men (Golden Bay Fence Plus) contracted to do all MDUSD schools that need new fencing.
