Building Contractors - builders, project managers, building consultants firms

A building contractor is responsible for the day-to-day oversight of the construction site, and management of vendors and trades. In addition building contractors keep communication between the general contractor and the involved parties open and clear through out the course of a building project.

Before starting a job, the building contractor must first visit and then assess the building site. As a result of this, the building contractor will generate a price, also called an ‘’estimate’’. The building contractor considers the cost of materials, equipment as well as the cost of labour to provide the owner with an approximate price for the project.

In these contract documents, the contract agreement between the client and the building contractor includes budget, the general and special conditions and the plans and specification of the project that are prepared by a design professional such as an architect.
