Understanding the Role of a General Contractor in Commercial Construction

In Quebec, a general contractor (or entrepreneur général) is a company holding a license from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ), responsible for the overall management of a construction project. Their role is central, especially in commercial projects that involve multiple trades, tight schedules, and strict regulations.

In a commercial project, such as the construction of a restaurant, retail store, or office, the general contractor is responsible for:

  • Coordinating all stakeholders (subcontractors, suppliers, architects, engineers)
  • Managing timelines and budget
  • Compliance with building codes and safety regulations
  • Site supervision until final delivery

Working with a general contractor like Concept Élite Construction ensures a well-planned project, executed to the highest industry standards, while minimizing risks and unforeseen issues for the client.
