        "text": "A general contractor acts as your single point of contact, managing the overall project schedule, framing, finish carpentry, drywall, and painting, while bringing in licensed specialty trades for complex plumbing and electrical hookups. Hiring individual trade subcontractors on your own may seem budget-friendly initially, but managing overlapping schedules, material deliveries, and code compliance often leads to costly delays and rework. Working with an owner-operated general contractor ensures that one accountable lead supervises on-site quality every day, preventing miscommunications between rough carpentry, surface prep, and final trim installations.",
