PROJECT TYPES
Contractor Sourcing Across Construction Project Types
Build Network helps project owners, developers, general contractors, prime contractors, engineering firms, construction managers, utilities, and other project organizations identify contractors aligned with the location, scope, workforce, equipment, credentials, and operating requirements of the work.
From one specialized trade to several coordinated scopes, every search begins with the requirements of the individual project.

✓ Multi-Trade and Phased Work
Different Projects Require Different Contractor Capabilities
Construction project categories can share common trades while requiring very different contractor experience, licensing, insurance, equipment, workforce, production capacity, travel, scheduling, and site-access capabilities.
Build Network does not assume that a contractor suited for one type of project will automatically align with another. Each search and verification review is based on the conditions communicated for the individual opportunity.
Project type helps define the search. Project-specific requirements determine the match.
Commercial Construction Projects
Commercial projects can involve new construction, expansions, renovations, build-outs, exterior work, interior scopes, facility improvements, and individual trade packages. The contractor requirements depend on the building type, occupancy, project phase, schedule, and work environment.
Build Network can source general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty contractors for defined commercial construction scopes.
Example Commercial Scopes
✓ Site preparation and demolition
✓ Concrete and foundations
✓ Structural and miscellaneous steel
✓ Roofing and building envelope
✓ Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing scopes
✓ Drywall and interior construction
✓ Flooring and tile
✓ Painting and coatings
✓ Doors, hardware, and specialty installations
✓ Exterior and site improvements
Commercial Selection Considerations
✓ Relevant building and scope experience
✓ Applicable licensing
✓ Insurance requirements
✓ Occupied or active-site conditions
✓ Workforce and supervision
✓ Schedule and sequencing
✓ Equipment and material-handling needs
✓ Coordination with other trades
Examples are not limitations. Contractor searches are based on the actual commercial project requirements.
Civil and Site Development Projects
Civil and site development work often depends heavily on equipment, production capacity, field supervision, environmental conditions, sequencing, and coordination with utilities or other site contractors.
Build Network evaluates contractors according to the specific earthwork, site, drainage, concrete, roadway, or related requirements communicated by the project team.
Example Civil and Site Scopes
✓ Clearing and site preparation
✓ Demolition and removal
✓ Excavation and earthwork
✓ Mass grading and fine grading
✓ Drainage and stormwater work
✓ Erosion and sediment control
✓ Site concrete and foundations
✓ Roadway and parking improvements
✓ Paving, curbs, and sidewalks
✓ Site restoration
Civil Selection Considerations
✓ Required machinery and equipment
✓ Crew structure and field supervision
✓ Hauling and material movement
✓ Daily or weekly production expectations
✓ Survey and grade-control capabilities when required
✓ Site access and soil conditions
✓ Licensing and insurance
✓ Project location and mobilization
Utility Construction Projects
Utility projects may require contractors with specialized equipment, trained personnel, excavation capabilities, installation experience, restoration capacity, and familiarity with project-specific utility standards.
The exact requirements vary by utility type, owner, jurisdiction, location, material, depth, site conditions, and operating environment.
Example Utility Scopes
✓ Water distribution
✓ Sanitary sewer
✓ Storm drainage
✓ Underground dry utilities
✓ Electrical utility scopes
✓ Utility excavation and trenching
✓ Manholes, structures, and related concrete
✓ Testing and restoration support
✓ Emergency or planned utility work
✓ Associated paving and site restoration
Utility Selection Considerations
✓ Relevant utility experience
✓ Applicable trade or contractor licensing
✓ Insurance requirements
✓ Crew and supervision structure
✓ Excavation and installation equipment
✓ Travel and service area
✓ Production expectations
✓ Owner-specific or project-specific requirements
Build Network does not certify technical compliance or replace the utility owner’s engineering, inspection, safety, procurement, or contractor-approval procedures.
Infrastructure Projects
Infrastructure work can involve public or private improvements, transportation-related construction, drainage, utilities, concrete, earthwork, site development, and multiple coordinated contractor packages.
Build Network can support project teams seeking companies for a complete scope or a specialized portion of a larger infrastructure program.
Example Infrastructure Scopes
✓ Roadway and transportation improvements
✓ Drainage and stormwater systems
✓ Public and private utility infrastructure
✓ Concrete structures and site concrete
✓ Earthwork and grading
✓ Paving and restoration
✓ Municipal improvements
✓ Site and access improvements
✓ Specialty construction packages
✓ Supporting trade scopes
Infrastructure Selection Considerations
✓ Project-specific procurement conditions
✓ Required experience and references
✓ Licensing and insurance
✓ Workforce and equipment capacity
✓ Geographic coverage
✓ Schedule and sequencing
✓ Production and mobilization requirements
✓ Additional owner or agency qualifications
The responsible project organization remains in control of procurement, contractor approval, contracting, inspections, and regulatory compliance.
Industrial Construction Projects
Industrial work can require contractors capable of operating around active facilities, specialized systems, demanding schedules, controlled access, heavy equipment, phased construction, maintenance activity, or shutdown conditions.
Build Network evaluates contractor alignment according to the facility, scope, equipment, workforce, schedule, access, and documentation requirements provided by the project team.
Example Industrial Scopes
✓ Industrial site work
✓ Concrete and foundations
✓ Structural and miscellaneous steel
✓ Mechanical and electrical construction
✓ Equipment-support scopes
✓ Facility expansions and improvements
✓ Roofing and building envelope
✓ Industrial painting and coatings
✓ Maintenance and repair construction
✓ Shutdown or phased project support
Industrial Selection Considerations
✓ Relevant facility or scope experience
✓ Active-site operating conditions
✓ Workforce and supervision
✓ Specialty equipment
✓ Insurance and project credentials
✓ Access and onboarding requirements
✓ Schedule, shutdown, or sequencing conditions
✓ Travel and mobilization
Multi-Trade and Phased Construction Projects
A single project may require different companies for separate trades, locations, phases, or packages of work. The contractor aligned with one scope should not automatically be assumed to satisfy the requirements of another.
Build Network can conduct separate searches and verification reviews for each required scope while keeping communication and project information organized.
Project Requirement
✓ Site preparation
✓ Concrete foundations
✓ Underground utilities
✓ Roofing
✓ Interior finishes
Build Network Approach
✓ Define each scope separately
✓ Identify relevant contractor candidates
✓ Verify project-specific alignment
✓ Confirm interest and availability
✓ Organize focused introductions
One project can require several contractor searches. Each scope receives its own evaluation.

Tell Us Enough to Understand the Work
An initial request does not need to contain every project document. Start with the company, project location, contractor or trade needed, and a brief description of the work.
A Build Network representative can then communicate privately with the project team to understand the scope, schedule, workforce, equipment, insurance, licensing, production, travel, and other requirements relevant to the contractor search.
Project details are handled through a private evaluation process and shared only as needed with selected contractor candidates reviewing the opportunity.
Build Network Sources Contractors. The Project Company Controls the Work.
Build Network does not perform construction, supply labor, act as the general contractor or construction manager, control construction means and methods, award the construction contract, or receive project funds from the project owner.
The project owner, general contractor, prime contractor, utility, developer, engineering firm, construction manager, or other responsible company evaluates the introduction, completes its own due diligence, selects the contractor, establishes the agreement, and oversees the project.
Project teams are not charged a Build Network sourcing fee for contractor introductions.
