FAQs About General Contracting in Rhode Island
What’s the difference between a GC and a subcontractor?
A GC oversees the entire project — managing trades, timelines, and quality — while subcontractors handle specific tasks (like plumbing or framing).
Can you work with my existing architect or designer?
Yes. We love collaborating and can step in at any point in the design or build process.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Absolutely. We work with towns across Rhode Island and take care of all compliance needs.
