What is a Trade Contractor?

A trade contractor, also known as a subcontractor, is a professional in the construction industry who specializes in a unique aspect of the building process. These contractors are enlisted by the general contractor or the project owner to execute specific tasks that require a particular set of skills. They could be skilled in areas such as plumbing, electrical work, masonry, painting, carpentry, roofing, or any other specific trade that contributes to the completion of a construction project. The trade contractor is bound by a contract that outlines the tasks to be performed, deadlines, and terms of payment. They bring technical expertise to ensure quality workmanship and compliance with building codes and regulations.
