What is the definition of covered work for the purpose of determining my GCR?
Your GCR includes all private and public construction work, whether negotiated or competitively bid, including work done by wholly-owned subsidiaries (that are not association members) and the percentage of your participation in joint ventures. ***If not specifically excluded, all work must be included in your GCR figure.
-
What is the verification method of reporting my firm's GCR?
Traditionally, general contractor firms refer to an audit or CPA generated reports. A firm is welcome to provide this documentation at time of application.
Each year’s renewed GCR form must be signed by the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer or an equivalent member of the firm’s executive team. This is to ensure all firms are adhering to the association’s motto of: Skill, Integrity, and Responsibility as we work together to advance Georgia’s commercial construction industry.
