Choosing the right subcontractor can make or break a job. It’s not just about price—it’s about experience, coordination, and reliability. At Grupo Contreras, we know what GCs are looking for—because we deliver it every day.
Here’s what to look for when selecting a subcontractor for your next build.
Relevant Project Experience
Legal Compliance and Documentation
Technical Capacity and On-Site Presence
References and Reputation
Clear, Ongoing Communication
Ok, let’s develop it
1. Relevant Project Experience
Drywall in a hospital isn’t the same as drywall in an office. Ask if they’ve done work like yours
before, and how often.
2. Legal Compliance and Documentation
A serious subcontractor should provide licenses, insurance, OSHA compliance, and state registrations—without hesitation.
3. Technical Capacity and On-Site Presence
Do they have trained crews? Site supervisors? Their own tools and logistics? That’s how you know they’re ready.
4. References and Reputation
Ask for client references. Talk to other GCs. A solid reputation is earned through consistent performance.
5. Clear, Ongoing Communication
Quick responses, issue-solving, and alignment with the GC’s process are key to avoiding delays and conflicts.

Not all drywall is created equal. In commercial and institutional construction, some walls must withstand fire—literally. Fire-rated assemblies help contain flames. protect lives, and meet code.

En construcción comercial e institucional, no todo drywall es igual. Hay espacios que

A well-built project starts long before materials hit the site. In commercial construction, technical documentation—submittals, shop drawings, and mockups—lays the foundation for successful execution.
Una obra bien ejecutada empieza mucho antes de que lleguen los materiales. En construcción comercial, los documentos técnicos como submittals, planos de taller (shop drawings) y mockups son fundamentales para evitar errores y garantizar la calidad final.
