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. 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. In fact, there are so many active and upcoming construction projects that Ohio ranks within the top 15 states in the nation for construction demand today. You can learn more about current Ohio construction projects here.
Ohio does not have a statewide contractor licensing system in place. GCs and subcontractors get licensed through either city or county offices, so you’ll need to do a Google search to find the correct licensing office. In addition, there may be specific bond and insurance requirements that vary from one jurisdiction to the next.
