GENERAL CONTRACTOR IN WINNIPEG

You can hire trades yourself, but then you take on the scheduling, permits, inspections and the gaps between trades, such as who patches the drywall the electrician opened up. A general contractor takes that coordination on and prices the whole job in one written quote. It usually makes sense once more than two or three trades are involved.

Yes. We build to supplied drawings and specifications for residential and commercial projects. Before work starts we walk the site against the drawings, ask questions, and raise anything that won’t work as drawn, so it’s resolved with your architect or designer before it becomes a change order or holds up an inspection.

Yes. We coordinate building permits and inspections with the City of Winnipeg or your local municipality and book inspections before work is closed up. On commercial projects in Winnipeg, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and demolition permits are applied for by City-licensed contractors, so those trades are lined up as part of the plan.

Under Manitoba’s Builders’ Liens Act, the person paying for the work must hold back 7.5% of each payment and keep it for at least 60 days after substantial performance is certified, the work is completed or it is abandoned. Ask your lawyer how it applies to your contract, and raise it with us when we go through your quote.

Both. On the residential side we manage kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-home renovations and additions; on the commercial side, offices, stores, restaurants, hotels and clinics. Commercial work can be scheduled after hours and on weekends, and every project, of either kind, starts with a free on-site visit and a written quote.

With a progress update every week: what was done, what’s next, and anything that has changed, such as a delivery date or an inspection result. If something moves that affects your schedule, you hear about it that week, not at the end. You can also reach us at 431-866-5644 or info@bridgelandbuilders.com.
