What to check before hiring a general contractor in Winnipeg

Five things to confirm with any firm, on this list or not, before you sign. The rules below are Manitoba's and Winnipeg's.

  1. Registration with WCB Manitoba

    Ask the firm for a clearance from WCB Manitoba, which confirms it is registered for workers' compensation and its account is in good standing. WCB Manitoba's online clearance system shows whether a business is covered and in good standing; check it before hiring and before the final payment.

  2. Liability insurance

    Ask for a certificate of insurance that names the firm and shows commercial general liability coverage in force for the dates of your job, and check that the subcontractors it brings in are covered too.

  3. The building permit from Winnipeg

    Building permits for homes in Winnipeg come from the City of Winnipeg, and structural work, additions, new plumbing and electrical work and basement finishing usually need one. Agree in writing who applies for the permit and books the inspections.

  4. A written contract

    Get the scope of work, the payment schedule tied to stages of the work, start and finish dates, how changes are agreed and priced, and who handles permits and cleanup, all in one signed contract before any work starts.

  5. The warranty

    For a new house: manitoba's New Home Warranty Act requires warranty coverage on new homes: at least one year on materials, labour and design, two years on building code defects and on the building's systems and envelope, and seven years on major structural components. For renovation work, get the firm's own workmanship warranty in writing.

General contractors in Winnipeg: common questions

What does a general contractor do on a home project?

A general contractor runs the job from start to finish: pricing it, booking and supervising the trades, ordering materials, arranging inspections and keeping the schedule. You deal with one firm instead of hiring the framer, plumber, electrician and drywaller yourself.

Do I need a building permit for a renovation?

Usually, for anything structural, for new plumbing or electrical work, and for most basement finishing, additions and decks. Your municipality sets the rules and issues the permit. Many general contractors apply for it as part of the job, so agree who is responsible before you sign.

What should a renovation contract include?

A written scope of work, the price and how changes will be priced, a payment schedule tied to stages of the work, start and finish dates, who pulls the permits, and the warranty on workmanship. Pay as stages are completed rather than most of the price up front.

Should I hire a general contractor or manage the trades myself?

Managing the trades yourself means booking, ordering and supervising each one, arranging the inspections and absorbing the delay when one trade holds up the next. A general contractor does that work and answers for the result. Running it yourself suits small jobs that need one or two trades.

How do I check that a contractor in Winnipeg is registered with WCB Manitoba?

Ask the firm for a clearance from WCB Manitoba. WCB Manitoba's online clearance system shows whether a business is covered and in good standing; check it before hiring and before the final payment.

Who issues building permits in Winnipeg?

Building permits for homes in Winnipeg come from the City of Winnipeg. For general contracting, structural work, additions, new plumbing and electrical work and basement finishing usually need one. Many firms apply for the permit as part of the job, so agree who does it before you sign.
