OUR CONTRACTORS
Who is it for?
All Contractors must be licensed to perform certain types of construction activities. They must also be in strict compliance with bonding, workers compensation insurance, and other similar regulations. All require extensive training, testing, certification, and background investigations. Licensed contractors must meet specific insurance requirements.
There are various types of contractors:
General Contractor
The General Contractor is responsible for the execution, supervision, and overall coordination of a building, renovation, or remodeling project. Many also perform some or all of the individual construction tasks.
Remodeling
Contractor
A Remodeling Contractor is a general contractor who primarily specializes in remodeling and renovation work.
Specialty Contractors
Specialty Contractors perform specialty tasks such as plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, etc. Often referred to as a Subcontractor, they generally work for themselves or with a general and/or remodeling contractor.
License Classifications
There are 3 classifications:
• Specialty
• Engineering
• Building
• Engineering
• Specialty
General Engineering Contractor
(A-Classification)
This professional is focused on fixed works projects. These require specialized engineering knowledge and skill. Projects include irrigation, drainage, water, power, flood control, harbors, dams, hydroelectric projects, and airports. This also includes earth moving projects, excavating, grading, trenching, paving, and surfacing work.
General Building Contractor
(B-Classification)
General building contractors may take a prime contract for any project involving framing or carpentry. They can also subcontract with an appropriately licensed Specialty Contractor to perform the work.
A General Building Contractor can perform the following projects:
• Strictly framing and/or carpentry work.
• Hire Specialty Contractors (plumbers, electricians, painters, drywallers, etc.) to perform these types of projects.
• Perform all the work themselves or with any combination of employees and/or Specialty Contractors.
The important point here is that only a licensed General Building Contractor can legally build a house, room addition, or perform interior and exterior framing. Framing is basically building walls, ceilings, floors, decks, balconies, etc.
This professional or company is also the only one who can legally perform a bathroom, kitchen, or full interior remodel.
Specialty Contractor
(C-Classification)
Performance requires special skill and whose principal contracting business involves the use of specialized building trades or crafts. Often referred to as “Subcontractors” or “C-Trades”.
Examples include plumbers, electricians, drywallers, concrete, etc. Subcontractors cannot perform any other trade that he or she does not hold an active license for.
For example: A plumber cannot perform electrical work. In similar fashion, a cabinet maker cannot install countertops. Specialty Contractors cannot contract (hire) with other Specialty Contractors to perform unlike work. Examples include a plumber hiring an electrician or a cabinet maker hiring someone to install the countertop.
