01Direct crews: it looks cheaper
Hiring electricians, plumbers and finishers directly, the client indeed pays nothing for coordination. But the client also becomes the general contractor: building the schedule, sequencing different crews, buying materials and accepting every stage.
02Where the money goes
- downtime: one crew waits for another;
- rework at interfaces: wiring after finishing, plumbing after tiling;
- material overspend without single procurement;
- disputes over responsibility: “it was not us, it was before us”.
03What general contracting gives
One contract, one estimate, one schedule and one party responsible for the result. The general contractor sequences the works, answers for every crew’s quality and hands over the whole project with as-built documents and a warranty.
General contracting is not a middleman mark-up — it is the price of making deadlines and quality one contractor’s obligation.
04When you can do without one
- a small cosmetic refresh of one room;
- a single type of work, with no trades to coordinate;
- the client has their own technical supervision and construction management experience.
05The combined option
PRO SOFORT BUILD works both as a general contractor and as a subcontractor: you can hand over the whole project or just one package — for example interior finishing or building services — within a larger project.
