Unlike many other industries, the demand for commercial and residential contractors and workers has continually grown since 2012. General contractors are reporting their biggest backlog of work in years, thanks to increased consumer demand, coupled with the unprecedented low interest rates. In fact, there are so many active and upcoming construction projects that Georgia ranks within the top 15 states in the nation for construction demand today. The good news is that many general contractors are frantically searching for subcontractors and material suppliers to keep their projects on schedule and meet completion deadlines. You can learn more about current Georgia construction projects here.
Georgia requires all contractors to maintain a current license based on the project size or scope of work. You can access their forms and learn more about their licensing requirements and fees at the Georgia State Contractor Licensing Board.
You will want to check out the Georgia Worker Safety website if you’re considering construction projects in Georgia. Understanding Georgia’s latest worker safety requirements will be helpful as you prepare your bids for Georgia construction projects.
Subcontractors and suppliers constantly struggle to find and connect with reputable and busy general contractors. PlanHub has reviewed the most recent construction industry data to determine Georgia’s most prominent and active general contractors, and here are their website links for your convenience.
Like many other southern states, the Georgia construction industry doesn’t slow down for seasonal weather changes. New construction projects typically go out to bid once the architect has finalized the plans with the project owner. New drawings can take a few weeks to several months to complete, depending on the project’s size and scope. Unlike some other plan room services, the plans, specs, and bidders list are available online within four hours once PlanHub receives a new construction project.
Georgia is expected to maintain its current upward trajectory into the 2020s. Metro Atlanta, for example, continues to gain cultural and commercial relevance in the United States, thus leading to an increase in construction activity. Construction sites are becoming busy with new projects to support the expected population growth. Individuals with valuable work experience can find great positions such as construction project manager. Employment for entry level roles is looking extremely high, as well. With plenty of opportunities at the door, PlanHub can help you get involved in Georgia today.
Access the PlanHub plan room to pick and choose the projects that interest you and start your takeoff process. After you’re properly licensed, you can begin submitting your bid to the general contractors bidding on the project. Certain publicly funded projects may contain specific bidding requirements or forms, typically included with the plans and specs.
The AGC provides training, support, and business resources to help contractors (not just GCs) build a better construction environment for the future. You can learn more about it by visiting the AGC Georgia website.
Some similarities from one state to the next are typical since most state building codes provide a baseline of occupant safety and comfort. However, every state creates its building code to address localized environmental issues such as hurricanes, tornadoes, landslides, flooding, and even earthquakes.
