Question
Hi there, I work for a Drywall and Plastering company (family run) and we've recently taken a job as General Contractors for a local hospital.

I am currently more of a glorified secretary/assistant. Since we've become General Contractors for this job, I've been asked to take on tasks such as INVOICING, SITE INSTRUCTIONS, REQUEST FOR INFORMATIONS, ETC. I have seen these obviously in the past from other contractors we've worked under but have never had to do them up myself.
1) Are there any websites you can recommend that are simple to follow to doing the above mentioned papers?
2)Are there special computer programs we require?
3) Is there anything important I should know regarding the added work I'll be doing.
4) Does my title change from secretary now? I sure hope so!

Thank you for your time!

Answer
Lets be a bit more informative.  If you do NOT have a General Contractors License in the State you are operating, You cannot perform the duties of a General Contractor.  There are fines and penalties for this mis use of contracting.  A General Contractor is in fact knowledgeable of all aspects of the building trades, governs all aspect of the project, except for that which the Owner of the property may take on, and must know the codes relative to each occupation involved in the contractors aspects.  I must know...electrical, mechanical, plumbing, framing, concrete etc, to be able to govern the work and materials being used into the project.  This can get serious for your company.  If needed, contact the Contractors Board and ask simple questions.
