Abstract
In the construction industry, contractors have many challenges on their progress and
performance while on the other hand opportunities that lead them for success as well. The large
contractors today could have once been small contractors and vice versa. The challenges faced
specifically by lower grade contractors may determine their overall presence, involvement and
functionality to a large scale. Since these lower grade contractors need to stay in the industry and
actively perform in order to progress and develop, it is vital to identify the triggering and
hindering factors and challenges that affect their progress, development and presence as a firm.
This research helps to recognize the difficulties, challenges and factors revolving inside and
around lower grade contractors. The research will also give good background information and
what new small contractors should be aware of the industry‟s environment before they jump to
enter into. The necessary measures and strategies to be taken to enable and capacitate these
contractors are also been indicated.
