The builder is the head contractor who is ultimately responsible for all aspects involved in the construction. The builder is contracted by the homeowner (property owner) to complete the contracted works.
A genuine builder will never complain about his trades or blame them for their performance. He has selected them and he is responsible for their work.
It takes quality builders many years to bring together a competent team of trades.
