We cater eagerly to residential needs and contractors alike. A general contractor is a group or individual that contracts with another organization or individual (the owner) for the construction, renovation or demolition of a building, road or other structure. A general contractor is defined as such if it is the signatory as the builder of the prime construction contract for the project.
A general contractor is responsible for the means and methods to be used in the construction execution of the project in accordance with the contract documents. Said contract documents usually include the contract agreement including budget, the general and special conditions and the plans and specification of the project that are prepared by a design professional such as an architect.
A general contractor usually is responsible for the supplying of all material, labor, equipment, (engineering vehicles and tools) and services necessary for the construction of the project. To do this it is common for the general contractor to subcontract part of the work to other persons and companies that specialize in these types of work. These are called subcontractors.
General contractors conducting work for government agencies are typically referred to as prime contractors. The responsibilities of a prime contractors working under a contract are essentially identical to those outlined above. In many cases, prime contractors will delegate portions of the contract work to subcontractors. As a rule, general contractors will provide direct labor for civil aspects of a construction project, such as placement of concrete, carpentry, etc.- with specialty areas, such as mechanical and electrical construction furnished by specialty subcontractors. However, there are instances in certain types of projects, e.g., major pipelines, electrical utility lines, etc., where the preponderance of the work lies within one of these specialties (or some other specialized aspect). Here, the mechanical or electrical contractor, with the majority of the workload, can operate as a "prime" contractor, with the "general" contractor providing services with subcontractor status, and dealing with the owner/owner's representative via the prime contractor.

We have the equipment rentals you need! We look forward to hearing from you! Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles, specially designed for executing construction tasks, most frequently, ones involving earth moving. They are also known as construction equipment, earth movers, engineering vehicles, or just plain equipment. They usually comprise five equipment systems: implement, traction, structure, power train, control and information. Through the mechanical advantage of a simple machine, the ratio between input force applied and force exerted is multiplied. Currently most equipment use hydraulics as a primary source of transferring power.
We are proud to serve Portland and the surrounding Maine community.
