ServicesCore construction and general contracting
One contract.
One party answerable.
Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, whole or in packages, with us as general contractor, main contractor, contractor or subcontractor. Under a general contract you deal with one company, and that company is on site every day.

What it is
General contracting means we carry the building, not just a trade on it.
Under a general contract we are responsible for the finished building, not for a list of trades. We plan the programme, run the site, bring in the licensed installers each package needs and sequence every trade against the drawings. The same company takes individual packages and phases as contractor or subcontractor where a project is led by someone else, and covers the civil engineering and specialised works that form part of a building.
What you get
Six things you
hold in your hand
Not promises. Each of these is a person, a document or a report you receive, and can point to if it is missing.
A named foreman
One person who runs your site from mobilisation to handover, and one person you call.
A priced bill of quantities
Every item with its quantity, unit rate and total, and the exclusions listed beside them.
A programme
Week by week from start to handover, updated as the job moves and shared with you.
Weekly progress reports
Photographs, what was done, what is ahead or behind, and the reasons why.
A closed snag list
Walked with you, written together, and closed before we call the job finished.
A handover pack
Certificates for the installations, warranties, and the as-built drawings that apply.

Fit
When to choose it
- You want one price and one party answerable for the whole building.
- You have no site management of your own and do not want to hire it.
- The project has several trades that have to be sequenced properly.
- You are an owner or investor rather than a contractor yourself.
Used for
Typical projects
- Family houses and villas
- Apartment buildings
- Offices and retail units
- Production halls and warehouses
- Hotels, restaurants and tourism
- Renovation and fit-out of existing buildings
When something else fits better
- Workforce provision, organisation and site leadershipYou already run the site and need crews.
- Subcontracting and completion of projects for other contractorsYou lead the project and need one package carried.
- Architecture, engineering and technical coordinationYou are starting from a blank page and want design carried too.
Questions
Asked before
signing
The situations clients ask about before a general contract. Anything else, ask directly.
Can you start before the permit is issued?
Preparatory work that does not need the permit can begin, and the programme is set so the work that does need it starts the day it is granted. What we will not do is build ahead of an approval.
Can we change finishes once the build has started?
Yes, up to the point in the programme where that finish is ordered or installed. After that a change costs time as well as money, and we tell you both before you decide.
What if the drawings have gaps or errors?
We raise them at the review stage, and again the moment one shows up on site. Where a detail cannot be built as drawn we propose a way to build it and take it back to the designer for approval.
Will you take over a project another contractor started?
Yes, after an inspection of what is built and a written record of its condition. The contract then covers the work from that point, so responsibility for what came before stays where it belongs.
What guarantee applies to the work?
The guarantee periods set by Serbian law for construction works, stated in the contract. Product warranties from manufacturers and installers are handed to you at handover.
Do you work outside Kragujevac?
Across Serbia for projects of the right size. Distance changes logistics and crew accommodation, and both are priced openly rather than hidden in the rates.
