Builder vs general builder

Answer 1

If you mean a general contractor, then A builder typically handles the construction of your home. This can include setting the foundation, framing, roofing, as well as erecting the log walls. Builders often don't handle mechanical work such as heating and cooling, electrical or Plumbing. A GC orchestrates and manages the team of subcontractors. He's the big-picture guy. Sometimes a builder acts as a general contractor; he'll use his own crew to con struct your home and subcontract the mechanical work. This certainly isn't a problem- if he's experienced. In rural areas, builders almost have to be GCs to maintain their business. In other areas, GCs can focus on the entire protect and keep builders on task.
