General Contracting
Running the whole job. Scope, sequence, the licensed trades, and one person you can call who actually knows what is happening on your project.
What a general contractor is for
On a project with more than one trade, the coordination is the job. Who is on site which day, what has to be inspected before the next thing can be covered, what happens when the material that was supposed to arrive Tuesday does not.
When that is nobody's job, it becomes the homeowner's job. That is how projects run weeks over and how people end up chasing a contractor who has stopped answering.
Aryan runs the machine and runs the schedule. One point of contact, and a written scope before anything starts.
How we do it
Every job runs the same sequence. If something changes it, you hear about it the day we find it.
Walk it and scope it
What is included, what is not, and what would trigger a change order. In writing before a deposit.
Sequence and schedule
Trades booked in the order the work actually has to happen, with inspection points built in.
Build
With progress photos as it goes, so you are not relying on being home to know what happened.
Inspections and sign off
Coordinated as the schedule requires.
Punch and close out
The last five percent is the part most people get abandoned on. It gets finished.
What it costs
What moves the number
General contracting is scoped per project. These are the project types we take on most and what drives each one.
| Work | What changes the price |
|---|---|
| Detached garage or outbuilding | Size, foundation, and finish |
| Room addition | Size, foundation, and complexity |
| Whole basement finish | Area, bathroom, and egress |
| Multi room interior remodel | Scope and finish level |
We do not do electrical or drywall as services we sell. Where a project needs them, they are subcontracted to the trades that specialize in them and coordinated as part of the schedule.
We price off a site visit, not off a photograph, so you will not find a number on this page. You will get a written scope with a fixed price in it, and it will say what is included and what is not before you are asked for anything.

Questions
Before you call anyone
Worth reading first
What does a general contractor actually do?
Owns the outcome. Scope, schedule, trades, inspections, and problem solving when reality does not match the plan. On a multi trade project that coordination is most of the value.
Are you licensed and insured?
Insured, yes, with the certificate available on request. Aryan trained in building construction and carpentry at the A.W. Beattie Career Center. Where work requires a specific trade license, that trade holds it and we coordinate them.
Do you do electrical and drywall?
Not as services we sell. Both are subcontracted to specialists on projects that need them.
How do you handle change orders?
In writing, before the work happens. If we open something up and find a condition nobody could have known about, you get told that day with the cost implication, not at the end.
What if something goes wrong after you finish?
You call and we come back. Warranty terms are in your written scope, including what is covered and for how long.
