Fire your GC.
Keep control of your project.
A general contractor works for the contract. An owner's rep works for you. JT Pro manages your build or renovation from your side of the table, so you see every bid, every invoice and every decision.
The traditional GC model isn't built around you
When one contractor holds the subcontracts, the schedule and the budget, the owner signs checks for work they can't fully see. That's not a character flaw in contractors; it's how the model is structured.
Stacked markup
Overhead and profit are added on top of every subcontract, often a double-digit percentage, and again on change orders.
Hidden numbers
With a lump-sum contract, you rarely see what the trades actually bid. You see one number and a list of exclusions.
Misaligned incentives
Change orders, allowances and schedule slips can work in the contractor's favor. Nobody on the job is paid to say no on your behalf.
How "firing your GC" actually works
You hold the contracts with the trades directly. JT Pro runs the project for you as your fiduciary: planning, bidding, scheduling, inspecting and paying only for work that's done.
Plan & budget
We build a line-item budget and schedule from your plans before a shovel moves, and pressure-test it against real market pricing.
Bid the trades directly
We bid each scope to qualified, insured subcontractors and walk you through apples-to-apples comparisons. You pick; you sign.
Manage to the finish
We coordinate trades, inspections and draws, verify work before payment and report progress in plain English.
