Why is it beneficial to have a single partner for the entire project? The advantages of a general contractor

Building a house is one of the biggest investments in life. Despite this, many investors handle the individual parts of the project separately—an architect prepares the house design, a construction company handles the build, another contractor supplies the pool, and the garden design isn’t addressed until after construction is complete.

This often results in unnecessary complications, overpriced modifications, and an exterior that does not come across as a single, harmonious whole.

That is precisely why more and more investors are seeking out a general contractor who can oversee the entire process, from the house design to the turnkey completion of the garden.

Who is the general contractor for the construction project?

The general contractor is the partner who coordinates the entire project from start to finish, through to the handover of the completed work.

Instead of communicating with multiple contractors, you have a single point of contact who handles:

• house design,
• house construction,
• coordination of trades,
• garden design,
• turnkey garden construction,
• swimming pool,
• patio,
• lighting,
• irrigation,
• planting, and ongoing garden maintenance.

You communicate with a single team. We coordinate everything else.

Why do problems arise when the house and garden are planned separately?

A major mistake is when the construction of the house is completed and only then does work on the exterior begin.

In practice, we often encounter problems such as:

• inappropriate terrace elevation,
• complicated pool connections,
• insufficient space for planting,
• unresolved site drainage,
• additional demolition work,
• higher construction costs.

Many of these problems could be eliminated as early as the design phase.

The design of the house and the garden should be developed together

The house and the garden are not two separate projects.

They form a single whole.

A well-designed exterior complements the architecture of the house, respects the views from the interior, and naturally connects the living space with its surroundings.

That is why the garden design should be developed during the initial planning stages of the house. Read more about when to start planning the garden for a new build.

This allows you to properly plan:

• the location of the patio,
• the pool,
• walkways,
• lighting,
• utility lines,
• the irrigation system,
• and the planting of trees and plants.

Having your home and garden built under one roof saves both time and money

One of the biggest advantages of working with a general contractor is the coordination of all trades.

The investor doesn’t have to worry about:

• the schedules of individual contractors,
• communication between trades,
• technical details of the project,
• complaints and liability.

Everything is handled by a single partner.

This results in:

• less stress,
• greater control over the budget,
• a smoother construction process,
• and faster project completion.

Turnkey garden design is not just about plants

Many people think of planting trees and a lawn when they hear the term “garden design.”

However, a modern outdoor space involves much more.

The project may include:

• a patio,
• a pool,
• a pergola,
• garden lighting,
• an automatic irrigation system,
• retaining walls,
• sidewalks,
• tree planting,
• perennial beds,
• and a lawn.

That is why it is important for all elements to be designed according to a single vision.
