General Contractors and Events

When a General Contractor is considered to perform their services to build a project, they are a standalone event. When the homeowner contracts a GC, the GC is expected to bring all the other event providers into the project as described in the HIBO Order of Business above. For events a GC cannot personally provide; he will need to bring other event providers into the project to perform their specific tasks. The GC is expected, and/or made responsible to apply the same HIBO Order of Business to each of his event providers who will be part of the homeowners total building process.

Most General Contractors are skilled to provide the homeowner with their strongest and most comfortable skill sets. When a GC is required to bring skills sets, other then his own, into the project; he needs to take time and energy to solicit and qualify each other provider. This adds additional Costs to the total price of the project. These costs of business are part the Overhead and Mark-Up added into his costs of building and added into his homeowners contract.  Pending the General Contractors Order of Business, and the size and shape of his office, he will need to take on the added tasks to Solicit other Subs, write the Scopes of work, write their contracts, write their schedules and monitor their work, on and off site, until the job is developed.

Not all General Contractors have the same basic uniformity in the process of originating a bid for work and creating estimates. When the average homeowner solicits bids and/or estimates, they often don’t understand some of the exaggerated cost difference in the bids. Some of this is due to the GC’s ability to recognize the additional work required in finding, hiring and managing other tasks/events outside of his own personal skill set or comfort zones. Most smaller to mid-size General Contractors don’t monitor their own time and energy into the profit side of a job bid and often don’t realize the amount and level of time it takes to develop a major project.

HIBO’s Role

HIBO provides project development services to homeowners and to contractors considering a major building project. HIBO is not a General Contractor. HIBO Develops Projects and does not build them. HIBO will develop a project for the homeowner or the a General Contractor. The homeowner deserves and expects experience and the skill sets required to perform building their project. HIBO assures every project is created using the HIBO Order of Business and applied uniformly to each and every project building project.
