        "text": "The general contracting process moves through pre-construction, site preparation, rough construction, interior finishes, and the final walk-through. Pre-construction involves reviewing blueprints, finalizing budgets, signing contracts, and acquiring local building permits. Once construction begins, the job progresses sequentially: demolition and foundation work occur first, followed by framing, rough-in mechanicals (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), insulation, and drywall. After walls are closed, finishes like cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, and paint are completed. The process concludes with a punch-list walk-through with the property owner and passing the final municipal inspection to receive a certificate of occupancy.",
