"With no construction manager, the contractors got in each other's way."

Local contractors and aerial-survey firms get a lot of new business.

I'm putting an addition onto my garage, and the contractors have got things littered up here.

Before the ordinance was passed, they say, black contractors were getting less than 1 percent of the city's business.

After it was passed, black contractors got the required 30 percent.

"I want to find out how and why these contractors got there."

This is a store where local contractors get their materials, and it would be overwhelming if not for the great service.

Not one contractor even got a chance to open a toolbox.

You could ask contractors to inspect your roof, but get at least three different opinions.

The city hasn't stepped up either, and the contractor got a lawyer immediately.
