Construction Monkey was formed to fill a need in the Construction Industry that has been forming for several years. The industry has become increasingly dominated by General Contractors that subcontract more and more of the work and thus there are more subcontractors providing the real construction services on any given project. These subcontractors are burdened with the risk, performance, safety, quality, and management of the projects being built, while they are in a more competitive market space due to the nearly 800,000 specialty subcontractors in the US alone. The Monkey is here to help subcontractors perform at top levels in this difficult environment. Overview
