Selecting a general contractor is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for any construction project. The right partner keeps your budget, timeline, and quality standards all aligned.

Questions to Ask Before You Sign

Before committing to a contractor, request references from recent projects similar in scope to yours, and confirm licensing, bonding, and insurance are current.

• Do they have experience with projects of similar size and complexity?

• How do they handle change orders and unexpected delays?

• Who will be your main point of contact on-site?

A transparent contractor will welcome these questions and provide clear, written answers rather than vague reassurances.
