Portions of the work and sometimes even the whole practical work can be subcontracted out to trade contractors.
Special trade construction includes the construction of parts of buildings and civil engineering works or preparation therefor. It is usually specialized in one aspect common to different structures, requiring specialized skills or equipment. Activities such as pile-driving, foundation work, water well drilling, carcass work, concrete work, bricklaying, stone setting, scaffolding, roof covering etc., are covered. The erection of steel structures is included provided that the parts are not produced by the same unit. Special trade construction is carried out mostly under subcontract, but in repair construction especially it is done directly for the owner of the property.
