General contracting services
A general contractor in construction is a company or firm that performs construction and installation work on a project. The contractor assumes responsibility for coordinating all stages of the project. The general contractor plays a key role in large and complex projects, ensuring their successful completion within the agreed time frame and budget. You can contact Forest-Ukraine for general contracting services.
The role of the general contractor in construction
General contracting plays an important role in construction. Let’s consider the main tasks of a general contracting organisation:
- Coordination. The actions of various contractors and specialists involved in the project are agreed upon and coordinated. This makes the activities well-coordinated and consistent.
- Planning. A detailed schedule of construction works is developed, the order of tasks is determined, and the deadlines and stages of design and construction are monitored.
- Financial management. The construction budget is regulated, ensuring the effective use of funds and rational allocation of resources.
- Quality and safety. The work is performed efficiently and in compliance with safety requirements, so you can count on effective results.
When ordering general contracting services from our company, you will see our integrated approach to construction project implementation. This helps to minimise the effort and risks associated with construction and ensure that the project is implemented in accordance with established quality standards and deadlines.
What are the responsibilities of a general contractor?
The responsibilities of a general contractor in construction are related to planning and organising projects. Our company performs a wide range of activities:
- Analysis of project documentation: familiarisation with the plan, specifications, requirements and terms of the contract.
- Development of a work schedule: approval of stages and duration of work. The schedule helps in planning resources and setting realistic deadlines.
- Budgeting and financial control: the total project costs are estimated, a budget is developed, and expenses during construction are monitored to ensure efficient use of resources.
- Selection of contractors and suppliers: contractors, suppliers and other project participants are approved.
- Workforce organisation: ensuring the availability of skilled workers.
- Compliance with regulations and standards: ensuring that work is carried out in accordance with established building codes.
- Risk management: identification of potential risks that may affect the construction process.
- Quality control: verification of the project’s compliance with customer requirements and standards.
- Reporting: maintaining documentation, including progress reports, financial reports, and other important documents related to the project.
The cost of general contracting services in our company is acceptable for customers, while the quality remains consistently high. Our employees regularly carry out quality control of materials and work, as this is one of the most important elements of a construction project.
The process of concluding a contract for the provision of general contracting services
The process of concluding a contract for general contracting works requires a careful approach. The general sequence of actions in this process is as follows:
- Negotiations and agreement of terms: familiarisation with the project, discussion of the customer’s needs, scope of general contracting services, proposals and terms, agreement of the contract.
- The general contractor submits its proposal for the project, including an estimate of the cost of the work, deadlines, payment terms and other details.
- Conclusion of the agreement and legal aspects: preparation and signing of the agreement in accordance with the requirements of the law, coordination of legal aspects and legal review.
Our company performs general contracting work in accordance with the terms of the contract, strictly fulfilling its obligations to the customer.
Advantages of working with a general contractor
The advantages of general contracting services for the customer of a construction project are quite significant:
- Cost optimisation. Our company obtains the best terms when purchasing building materials and ordering services, which allows us to reduce the cost of the project.
- Engaging contractors at optimal prices. We engage contractors who are willing to work at more competitive prices, as general contracting work helps to guarantee them greater stability.
- Efficient use of resources. We coordinate the work of various contractors, which allows for more efficient use of resources (labour, equipment and materials).
Therefore, by working with us, you will reduce construction costs, lower risks and achieve effective results in the shortest possible time.

Frequently asked questions
To accurately calculate the cost, we need to obtain basic information about the object. In most cases, it is enough:
photo of the building from the outside (from all sides) and from the inside
technical passport or project (if available)
height of the building and number of floors
type of foundations (monolithic, prefabricated, pile, etc.)
approximate distance of transportation of construction waste
The more complete the initial information, the more accurate the calculation.
In more complex cases, we go to the object to inspect and prepare a detailed estimate.
In practice, dismantling with preservation of structures almost always turns out to be more expensive.
This is due to the fact that:
a significant part of the work is performed manually, without the use of heavy machinery
the execution time increases
the risks for workers and structures increase
In addition, most used materials already have a significant degree of wear or have exhausted their resource, so their further use or sale is not always economically feasible.
In many cases, complete dismantling with subsequent processing of materials (for example, into secondary crushed stone) is a more profitable and safe solution.
During dismantling, we immediately perform rough sorting of materials:
metal is separated and sent for recycling
concrete, brick and other mineral materials – separately
wood, plastic and other waste – separately
Furthermore, several options are possible:
Transportation to a landfill – a standard solution, but involves additional costs for disposal
Recycling of materials – we crush part of the concrete and brick into secondary crushed stone, which:
is used for backfilling, roads, preparation of foundations
can be implemented
We help you choose the best option to minimize the client’s costs.
Yes, we have experience in performing dismantling work on objects damaged as a result of war.
Such objects require a particularly careful approach, as they often have:
emergency and unstable structures
partial collapses
increased level of danger for personnel
Before starting work, we necessarily conduct an inspection, assess the technical condition of the building and develop a safe dismantling technology.
If necessary, we provide:
development of a PVR in a short time
phased dismantling with risk minimization
sorting and removal of construction waste
We work throughout the territory of Ukraine (except for zones of active hostilities) and are ready to respond promptly to such objects.
Yes, in most cases, the implementation of dismantling works requires the development of a work execution project (PVR).
We develop PVR in a short time – usually within 2-3 working days.
The document takes into account the dismantling technology, safety, sequence of work and organizational solutions.
Our company provides full support:
preparation of all necessary documentation
maintenance of executive documentation
work with VAT and official closing of volumes
That is, the client receives not only work, but a completely closed process in terms of documents and reporting.
Yes, we perform dismantling work throughout the territory of Ukraine, except for regions where active hostilities are ongoing.
We have our own fleet of machinery and equipment, which allows us to quickly:
mobilize a team
relocate equipment
start work in a short time
Thanks to this, we work effectively both on local sites and on large projects in different regions of the country.
