General Construction Operational Challenges Jonas Premier Doesn't Solve
General Construction companies face unique operational challenges. Jonas Premier addresses some but leaves critical gaps.
Operational Challenges
- 1Change order management across multiple subs and phases
- 2Daily logs and safety documentation required by OSHA and owners
- 3Retainage tracking and draw schedule documentation
- 4Coordinating 5–15 subcontractors with overlapping schedules
Compliance & Regulations
- AOSHA 1926 construction safety standards and daily documentation
- BState contractor licensing and bonding requirements
- CPrevailing wage documentation on public projects (Davis-Bacon)
- DLocal building department permits, inspections, and certificate of occupancy
GCs coordinate dozens of subs, phases, and inspections. Daily logs, safety reports, change orders, and draw requests on paper create a documentation nightmare — and when a dispute lands in arbitration, the paper trail decides who pays.
