How a General Contractor Manages Your Build

Your general contractor begins by reviewing plans, securing permits, and scheduling subcontractors in the correct order so that plumbers, electricians, framers, and finish carpenters arrive when they are needed. NLD Construction visits the jobsite regularly to verify that work matches specifications, materials are delivered on time, and any issues are addressed before they delay the next phase.

After the project is completed, you will notice that trim fits tightly, doors close evenly, systems operate as designed, and surfaces are clean and ready for use. The work will meet inspection requirements without callbacks, and any punch list items will be resolved before final payment is due.

This service includes coordination with municipal inspectors, material procurement, and scheduling but does not include design work or architectural drafting. NLD Construction handles change orders, manages subcontractor invoices, and provides updates throughout the project so you know where things stand at all times.

Common Concerns When Hiring a General Contractor

Most homeowners want to know how a general contractor stays on schedule, who they will be working with, and what happens if something goes wrong during construction. These questions help clarify what the role involves and what you can expect.

What does a general contractor do that subcontractors do not?
A general contractor coordinates all trades, manages permits and inspections, orders materials, and oversees the entire project timeline. Subcontractors handle specific tasks like plumbing or electrical work, but the general contractor ensures those tasks happen in the right order and meet code requirements.
How does NLD Construction keep projects on schedule?
NLD Construction schedules trades in advance, tracks material delivery dates, and visits the jobsite regularly to confirm progress and address any delays. You receive updates throughout the project, and the company adjusts the schedule when weather or supply issues arise.
What happens if a problem is found during construction?
If structural damage, code violations, or unexpected conditions are found, NLD Construction discusses options with you before proceeding. You receive a written explanation of the issue, cost to resolve it, and impact on the timeline, and no additional work begins until you approve the plan.
Why does licensing matter for a general contractor?
Licensing ensures the contractor meets state requirements for insurance, bonding, and code knowledge, which protects you if something goes wrong. NLD Construction is fully licensed and insured in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, so your project is covered throughout every phase of construction.
When do you schedule inspections during a project?
Inspections are scheduled at key milestones such as foundation completion, framing, rough-in systems, insulation, and final walkthrough. NLD Construction coordinates with local inspectors in Harrisville and surrounding towns, ensuring each phase passes before moving forward.
