Trade
A trade is the term used to describe manual and structural work in the construction industry.
In the construction industry , a trade generally includes the work that can be assigned to a self-contained construction area. In the construction sector, craft ( HWK ) and industrial ( IHK ) professions usually depict the activities of the trades that define the profession. The procurement and contract regulations for construction works (VOB) also subdivide the trades in Part C and describe the respective general technical contract conditions for construction works. The division of trades in VOB / C usually goes deeper than the typical allocation units for trades. As a rule, the contracting authorities are obliged to award the contract on a trade basis. Private entities may also to a complete construction general contractor awarded or grouped trades advertise .
