A contractor (as opposed to the role of a sub-contractor) is responsible for the day-to-day oversight of a construction site, management of vendors and trades, and communication of information to involved parties throughout the course of a building project. A building contractor must first assess the project-specific documents (referred to as bid, proposal or tender documents). In the case of renovations, a site visit is required to get a better understanding of the project. Depending on the project delivery method, the contractor will submit a fixed price proposal or bid, cost plus price or an estimate. The building contractor considers the cost of overheads, general conditions, materials and equipment as well as the cost of labor to provide the owner with a price for the project.
