What Type of Work Does a Commercial Contractor Do?

Commercial Contractors are contracted by a client to help construct a building or structure. Each project may have different regulations and licenses needed to get the job done correctly and efficiently. Commercial Contractors will have experience working with construction projects such as offices, restaurants, medical facilities, retail stores, recreational facilities, and warehouses.

A Commercial Contractor will be in charge of purchasing materials and informing other contractors working on the project as to how and where the materials should be installed. If there are any problems with the material choices purchased, the contractor will contact the material vendor and negotiate for replacements or new materials.

Commercial Contractors are in charge of the hiring process of other contractors and subcontractors. Subcontractors are hired to perform unique or specialized tasks that other contractors can’t or are missing the credentials for. Subcontractors can be individuals or businesses that specialize in plumbing, electrical work, carpeting, painting, or other significant roles that require experience and possibly other forms of expertise credentials that a general contractor most likely won’t have.
