Contractor bid ( help )

[Baset S.]

Hi everyone,

First I really thank you all in advance and appreciate your time and sharing experiences and ideas that I know that came from hard work and time that worth more then money it self, much appreciated.

As invistor and doing house fliping as a main job I really want to know what are my rights with general contractors.

1- can I ask them to give me receipts on materials they buy ?

2- can I ask them to break down labor hours and the hours pricing ? ( like exactly how many hours he working and how much he pay his subs per hour? and maybe how can I track these hours ??

3- last questions how can I just cross the general contractor and deal with subs only to save money ? And where I can find each one of them on time ? ( yes I have time to manage them )

I’m only asking because every time I try to ask those things to any contractors they flip and argue and tell me they are not required to do this and can’t do it and it will be impossible etc, and they end up twist my arm or fight with them and they tell me no one will do this and I feel I keep losing contractors

I’m from Oregon by the way,
