This is an exceedingly vague question. In the most general terms, contractors are hired by whoever needs the services the contractor provides. The most familiar type of contractor to most people is a building contractor, but there are many types of contractors who are hired for a specific job (often for a few hours a week, or on an irregular schedule) as opposed to being regular employees.

They are synonymous. i.e., They mean the same thing. Prime Contractor = General Contractor. Some construction projects have multiple primes (multi-prime contract), where each prime is in charge of a general area of work and hires subcontractors underneath him, and one of the primes is typically delegated the owner's duty to coordinate. But the typical construction cite just has one prime.
How much contractor insurance should a condo have?
The answer depends on how the contractor is employed by the association. If the contractor is bonded, insured and licensed -- best practices indicate this is the best position for the association, to require these documents from a contractor -- then the association's insurance requirements are different from those required by an association that hires a casual laborer. Review your insurance requirements with your broker, and describe how you plan to use the contractor on a regular basis, or a one-time basis. Your broker can best advise you about the insurance you need.

Is an architect responsible for the quality of building work?
The quality of the "building work" or of the quality of the construction falls on the contractor for the project. The contractor might be the "project manager" (a general contractor) who hires all the other work done and insures all the contractors do their parts per the architectural requirements and the building codes. On smaller projects, the contractor might do all of the work himself. Or most of it, hiring out the rest and overseeing it. Large projects include engineers of all "flavors" who are supplied by the general contractor and also the subcontractors in the various specialty areas. But someone has to have the point and make the final decisions regarding the work and its quality, and the general or prime contractor has that task.
