When building a house, it’s common to work with a general contractor who manages the construction process and hires subcontractors to complete everything from the foundations to the plumbing and electrical work. In this case, you would typically not have to pay for introductions to contractors because the general contractor would be responsible for employing and managing the subcontractors.
However, if you are not working in this way and are hiring subcontractors directly, you may need to pay for introductions to these contractors. This might be the case if you use a service that connects homeowners with local contractors and charges an introduction fee.
It is always important to read the terms and conditions of any introduction service carefully to understand any fees that may be charged to you. Get a good idea of costs from the start and then you’ll know exactly what to expect.
