If you’re having a house built, you need a company with knowledge of architectural design, building codes, zoning requirements and varied construction elements. That’s where a residential general contractor comes in.
A commercial general contractor oversees the construction of commercial entities, like malls, retail stores, hospitals, educational buildings, and more. Any commercial building project needs a general contractor to manage it.
