Full-Scope General Contracting in Detroit

As a general contractor in Detroit, we manage every part of the build: preconstruction estimating, permitting, subcontractor procurement, scheduling, field supervision, quality control, and closeout. You have one point of contact and one contract for the entire project.

Our portfolio spans offices, retail and restaurant build-outs, churches, schools, multifamily buildings, and institutional facilities. Because we keep carpenters, masons, and finish tradespeople on staff, we can start critical scopes immediately and hold the schedule when a subcontractor market gets tight.

Detroit buildings come with real complications — aging structure, historic district review, limited laydown space, and utility coordination. We plan for those conditions in preconstruction rather than discovering them mid-project, which is how we keep change orders low and inspections on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a general contractor do on a Detroit project?

A general contractor holds the construction contract and is responsible for delivering the completed project — estimating, permitting, hiring and managing subcontractors, scheduling, safety, quality control, inspections, and closeout.

Are you a licensed general contractor in Michigan?

Yes. JC Beal Construction LLC holds Michigan GC license #262000387 and carries full general liability and workers' compensation insurance.

How long does a Detroit construction project take?

A tenant build-out can take a few weeks; a major renovation or ground-up build usually runs several months. We issue a detailed schedule during preconstruction so you know the milestones up front.

Do you pull permits and handle city inspections?

Yes. We manage permitting with the City of Detroit and coordinate all required inspections as part of our general contracting scope.

Can you work on occupied buildings?

Regularly. We phase work, build dust and noise containment, and schedule disruptive activities around your operations and tenants.
