When a commercial contractor agrees to do large project they take on full responsibility for all facets of the operation. In order to complete it he/she assigns several sub-contractors to see to other elements of the project. This division is done according to each contractor’s area of expertise. The construction industry has branches and hierarchies. For example, general contractors work on roads, buildings, bridges and so on. Contractors who work within a certain specialty are not necessarily qualified to work within others. A contractor who specializes in building roads would not be the right person to hire to design an office complex. Commercial contractors must pay close attention to these divisions when assigning labor for a given job.
