Hello,
we are currently obtaining quotes from general contractors (GUs) and I have the following questions:
- Is it common to receive only a total sum, i.e. no breakdown by trade? I find this a bit difficult; I would like to know what each trade costs and where the cost drivers are.
- Is it usual for a smaller construction company to do everything themselves except electrical and plumbing? I had actually expected that, for example, flooring or window installation would be done by the appropriate craftsmen as subcontractors.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
