types of construction companies that you could work for:
General Contractors
Usually work with landowners or companies that want to build a structure. They act as the primary contractor on projects that involve a range of specialized construction activities, which are often sub-contracted out.
Design-Builders
Similar to general contractors, but they provide architectural and engineering designs as well as construction.
Construction Managers
Oversee and schedule construction for their clients.
Speculative Builders
Also known as operative builders or merchant builders construct buildings they plan to sell – like houses or apartment buildings
Trade Contractors
Deal with specific parts of a project such as masonry, painting or electrical work. They can work under contract with a primary (general) contractor, or directly with a property owner for renovation and repairs.
