City to host ‘How to Select a General Contractor’ workshop on May 15

Planning a renovation or construction project? The City of Johns Creek invites residents to a free educational workshop, “How to Select a General Contractor,” on Thursday, May 15 at 6 p.m. at City Hall.

Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen or building your dream home, choosing the right contractor is one of the most critical steps to success. This workshop is designed to empower homeowners with the knowledge and tools needed to confidently hire a qualified professional.

Participants will learn:

  • How to assess their project needs
  • The difference between a general contractor and a contractor
  • What to consider between design-build and the traditional designer-then-contractor model
  • Where to look for reputable contractors: research, recommendations, and referrals
  • How to verify credentials and licenses
  • What to review in a contract before signing
  • The importance of proper permits and how to obtain them

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of the construction process and how to establish a successful working relationship with a contractor — ensuring their project stays on track and on budget.

This workshop is free and open to the public. No registration is required.

May is Building Safety Month, an international campaign to raise awareness about building safety.
