        "text": "Hiring a single general contractor gives you one accountable point of contact who coordinates framing, drywall, finish carpentry, painting, and licensed sub-trades in sequence. Managing individual subcontractors on your own may look cheaper initially, but scheduling conflicts, overlapping trades, and delayed handoffs often create costly downtime. When an owner-operator leads the job on-site, quality control across carpentry, tile installation, and painting remains consistent, preventing gaps where one trade blames another for uneven surfaces or rough transitions.",
