Did you know that the government is one of the largest construction employers in the world? There are many interesting facts about government construction works that most people don’t know.
What should I know about this?
- Government works are highly regulated and require government-approved contractors to complete the job. Regulations vary by government, but they generally include safety and environmental requirements and quality control standards.
- Projects often involve multiple government departments, so it is essential to know all applicable laws and regulations that may affect your project.
- The government typically pays a “prevailing wage” for work; this rate is determined by local labor agreements or the government’s rules.
- You must also be aware of any existing zoning laws when doing government work; these can limit where you can build, what materials you can use, etc.
