How to work with GC who will not commit?

[Zack Aboona]

Any tips or suggestions on how to pressure the GC to complete the work?

So my wife and I bought a house and been doing some major remodel, open kitchen layout , new kitchen cabinets, bathrooms, hardwood floors , paint and new wiring for the whole house $$ and time spent is the least to say. This is the house my wife and I going to move in from our condo. So we will live in the house for at least 5 years.

We are at the final hour and I paid him almost 80%. Now he is taking his time working maybe 4 hours a week. I know he has other jobs going on, lessons learn I should of hold back as much as I can on paying him. This was our first experience on doing major rehab.

Any tips or feedback on what I can do to push him? Is there such thing as pushing the GC even.

I think i know at this point my hands are tied and there is nothing I can do. I am just frustrated and I wanted to share it for two reasons 1) don’t make the mistake I did and 2) maybe there is something I can do that I can’t think off.

Thank you
