Now, our contractor and our insurance adjuster are deadlocked. The adjuster says he won't pay those extra charges and the contractor says he won't do another days work until he does. Kirk A - First of all, let's start with the basics. The general contractor's main job is to manage and coordinate the work. Their job is not easy, and good contractors are worth a lot of money.
Smaller jobs require higher overhead and profit rates.
But let's take a look at your case. I would also guess that the contractor did organize, schedule and manage the job. That at least some of the electrical work had to be done after the start of the contract, and that the carpet work was in the middle of the finishing stages of the job. It also has an addition with block foundation. Your primary job is to organize and manage all of the necessary element required to do the job from start to finish.
