Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What’s the difference between a general contractor and a subcontractor?

A general contractor oversees the entire construction project and hires/manages subcontractors (like electricians, plumbers, or roofers) to complete specialized tasks. UCG Hawaii acts as the general contractor, ensuring everything is coordinated properly.

2. Do you provide free estimates for general construction?

Yes, we offer free consultations and itemized estimates. We walk you through the process, explain scope, and tailor solutions based on your vision and budget.

3. How do you handle delays or change orders?

We build in contingencies and communicate clearly. If change orders arise (e.g., design changes or unforeseen site conditions), we provide written documentation and get your approval before moving forward.

4. Are your services available for government or public projects?

Yes, we are licensed and capable of handling public-sector construction with all necessary documentation and certifications.

5. How soon can you start a project?

Project start times depend on design approval, permitting, and schedule availability. After initial consultation, we’ll give you a detailed timeline and target start date.
