        "text": "While both roles are crucial, a general contractor primarily executes the construction work, directly hiring and managing subcontractors for the physical build. A construction project manager, however, typically oversees the entire project from a client advocacy perspective, focusing on planning, budget, schedule, and quality control, and often manages the general contractor. A project manager's role is more strategic and supervisory, ensuring the overall project objectives align with the client's vision and expectations, whereas the general contractor is responsible for the on-site construction execution.",
