General Contracting

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.

Most general contractors own their own companies and have experience in the construction industry. They employ experienced and training individuals that are assigned to various types of construction projects.
