scheduling is an essential aspect of profiting from a project. using a GC is probably a bit more costly, but they are carrying the weight of the project and have overhead. shopping a GC's price is probably more time consuming than it is beneficial. you also are gaining the GC's knowledge of the qualiity of work that you will be receiving. but a schedule is critical and should be attached to the contract as an addendum. also any preference in material would need to be specified. the other item ive always included in contracts is the expected milestones and the sub either your own or from the GC should be strictly held to. after you get a few projects done you will understand more about how to schedule. also be mindful of your scope of work and changes. change orders can blow your budget.
