Questions people ask before they commit
Homeowners and business owners often want to know how general contracting differs from hiring individual trades, what happens if timelines shift, and who handles permits. These questions help clarify what you are responsible for and what gets managed for you.
What does a general contractor actually do during construction?
Your general contractor schedules all subcontractors, orders materials, pulls permits, and coordinates inspections. You deal with one person instead of managing electricians, plumbers, and framers separately.
How long does a typical residential project take?
Timelines depend on scope and permitting, but a new house can take from 6-8 months from permit approval to final inspection. Weather and material availability can shift schedules by a few days.
What happens if the project uncovers structural issues?
You receive a written change order with photos and a cost estimate before any additional work begins. Thomas Collaborative documents the issue and provides options for repair or workaround.
Who is responsible for securing building permits?
Thomas Collaborative handles permit applications, plan submissions, and scheduling inspections with local building departments. You will be listed as the property owner.
Can you work on both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, Thomas Collaborative manages projects for homeowners and business owners. With over 40+ years in commercial and residential construction, Thomas Collaborative can handle all your needs.
