A general contractor
is an organization or individual that contracts with another
organization or
individual (the owner) for the construction of a building, road or other
facility. A general contractor is defined as such if it is the signatory as the
builder of the prime construction contract for the project. A general contractor
is responsible for the means and methods to be used in the construction of the
project in accordance with the contract documents. Said contract documents
usually include the contract agreement including budget, the general and special
conditions and the plans and specification of the project that are prepared by a
design professional. A general contractor usually is responsible for the
supplying of all material, labor, equipment, (engineering vehicles and tools)
and services necessary for the construction of the project. To do this it is
common for the general contractor to subcontract part of the work to other
persons and companies that specialize in these types of work. These are called
subcontractors.
Most contractors are required to be licensed in each state and may be
required to take an exam. To check for contractor license requirements,
you may contact the National Association of State Contractor Licensing
Agencies (NASCLA) Association
Contractors are defined in the law by each state and are usually
considered those who contract, bid, negotiate a price or offers to
construct, supervise, oversee, schedule, direct, alter, repair, install,
improve, move, demolish, furnish labor, etc. In addition, there are
various types: building (residential and commercial); electrical;
plumbing; mechanical; highway; and environmental (mold/lead remediation).
Consumers should always check out their contractor prior to hiring.

Do's and don't when hiring a contractor
General contractor example
A real estate developer would select a plot of land, hire an architect to
design the building and specify the building systems and then hire a
general contractor to actually build the buildings. The developer,
architect and general contractor work closely together to meet deadlines
and budget. The general contractor then works with subcontractors to
ensure quality standards in addition to timeline and budget.
