Many homeowners are unsure about the difference between a contractor and a project manager, which can lead to confusion during a remodel. Understanding each role is key to a smooth, efficient, and successful project.
At Paradise Association LLC, we clarify these roles and show how professional project management complements contractor work.
1. What a General Contractor Does
- A general contractor (GC) is responsible for performing the construction work or hiring subcontractors
- Oversees trades like plumbers, electricians, and carpenters
- Focuses primarily on hands-on construction, labor, and material procurement
2. What a Project Manager Does
- A project manager (PM) oversees the remodel from start to finish
- Coordinates trades, schedules, budgets, and permits
- Handles communication, quality control, and problem-solving
- Ensures the project runs smoothly, efficiently, and according to plan
3. Key Differences
