Contractors, Managers, and Foremen: Coordinating a Building Project

Question 8 • SVHS Building Construction ##FA

Why might many general contractors begin their careers as construction workers?

Answer
A
General contractors specialize in only one field, such as masonry, so they need construction experience in that field.
B
General contractors do not need to be licensed if they have a certain number of years of experience as construction workers.
C
When construction workers are promoted after a certain number of years, they receive the title “general contractor.”
D
General contractors generally need on-the-job experience managing work crews and projects.

Explanation

General contractors coordinate workers, schedules, and many parts of a construction project. Starting as a construction worker can provide practical, on-the-job experience with crews and project work, which is why D is correct. Experience alone does not automatically confer the title of general contractor or necessarily replace licensing requirements.
