What is a general contractor?

General Contracting in the Construction Industry

General contractors supervise part or all of numerous construction projects, such as commercial, industrial and residential buildings. If a construction project requires a specialty, such as plumbing, heating and air conditioning, painting or roofing, then they hire subcontractors to do that particular job.

Licensing Requirements in General Contracting

Some states require general contractors to be licensed in order to work on projects. Each state has different requirements. General contractors with a license improve their skills with current knowledge in business methods, regulation requirements and building maintenance. Licensed general contractors can be more appealing to customers because they demonstrate credibility and training.
