General Contractors and Specialized Steel Building Erectors – a Perfect Pairing for Projects

Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, laid out the economic theory that specialized division of labor leads to growth and greater productivity. In his work, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), he explains that as a company or industry grows, more workers can be hired allowing work to be divided into more specific roles, with each having fewer responsibilities. This focus increases improvement and specializing into one core skill. More efficiency in each task results in increased production levels, utilizing less time and less cost.

These same economic lessons apply to construction. Why spend the time to learn all the best practices of building construction at the client’s expense? It’s much smarter to hire those who have the specialized experience. 

Commercial and industrial construction projects are complicated. General contractors are expert in the macro and big-picture level of managing the plans, budgets and schedules. It only makes sense to partner with a specialist, like Double Black Construction, in handling the concrete foundation, steel framing and installation of metal components to ensure the success of that portion of the project.
