FAQ
Residential contractors build and renovate homes or manage such projects from start to finish. The residential contractor typically secures permits, supervises labor and enlists specialized subcontractors such as plumbers and electricians.
Generally speaking, a general contractor is someone who manages a team of subcontractors to help do various types of construction projects in your home. A custom home builder, however, is specialized in building custom homes and is able to complete this specific type of project start to finish on their own.
Usually, anything that subcontractors would be liable for, general contractors may also be liable for (with the caveat that if the contractor has to pay for damages, the subcontractor who is legally responsible will often reimburse the general contractor).
A general rule of contributory negligence is that a main contractor is not liable for the negligence of its independent subcontractor. There are some exceptions to this rule, including: The main contractor had actual knowledge that the sub-contractor's work had been done in a foreseeably dangerous way and condoned it.
A subcontractor will carry out duties on behalf of a contractor - who is responsible for their health, safety, and actions - and might be an individual or an organisation. However, the employees of a contractor are not considered subcontractors, they must be separate altogether.
All contractors are required by Idaho law to be registered with the Idaho Contractors Board, which is a division of the State of Idaho, Bureau of Occupational Licenses.However, if you are working on a public works project, you will also need licensing with the Idaho Division of Building Safety.
(The general contractor is often referred to as a principal and the subcontractor as an independent contractor.) A general contractor is not ordinarily liable for the negligence of an independent contractor such as a subcontractor.
Usually, anything that subcontractors would be liable for, general contractors may also be liable for (with the caveat that if the contractor has to pay for damages, the subcontractor who is legally responsible will often reimburse the general contractor).
For example, a building contractor may hire a subcontractor to complete the electrical wiring part of the contractor's building job. The contractor is responsible to the client for the building job including the part performed by the subcontractor.
