        "text": "An architect focuses on the aesthetic, functional, and structural design of your remodel, creating the plans and specifications. A general contractor, on the other hand, is responsible for executing that design, managing the construction process, budget, and schedule. In design coordination, the contractor acts as the bridge, interpreting the architect's vision for the construction team and providing practical input on buildability, cost-efficiency, and scheduling during the design phase.",
