Operative builders are most <br />often associated with the construction of residential buildings. Like general contractors, they may <br />subcontract all or part of the actual construction work on their buildings. <br />There are substantial differences in the types of equipment, work force skills, and other inputs required by <br />establishments in this sector. To highlight these differences and variations in the underlying production <br />functions, this sector is divided into three subsectors. <br />Subsector 236, Construction of Buildings, comprises establishments of the general contractor type and <br />operative builders involved in the construction of buildings. Subsector 237, Heavy and Civil Engineering <br />Construction, comprises establishments involved in the construction of engineering projects. Subsector <br />238, Specialty Trade Contractors, comprises establishments engaged in specialty trade activities <br />generally needed in the construction of all types of buildings. <br />Force account construction is construction work performed by an enterprise primarily engaged in some <br />business other than construction for its own account and use, using employees of the enterprise. This <br />activity is not included in the construction sector unless the construction work performed is the primary <br />activity of a separate establishment of the enterprise. The installation and the ongoing repair and <br />maintenance of telecommunications and utility networks are excluded from construction when the <br />establishments performing the work are not independent contractors. Although a growing proportion of <br />this work is subcontracted to independent contractors in the Construction Sector, the operating units of <br />telecommunications and utility companies performing this work are included with the telecommunications <br />or utility activities. <br />INTERNATIONALECONOA C <br />DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL <br />Cabarrus Economic Development 3003 Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, Kannapolis, NC 28083 USA <br />704.782.4000 1 CabarrusEDC.com I Face Book.com /CabarrusEDC I Twitter.com /CabarrusEDC Altaa <br />1 -1 Page 481 <br />
