PC stands for which term?

• A. Project Manager - Construction
• B. Subcontractor
• C. Prime Contractor
• D. Principal Contractor

Answer: (C)

PC denotes the Prime Contractor—the main contractor who signs the contract with the owner and bears the primary responsibility for delivering the project, coordinating all trades, managing the schedule and budget, and ensuring safety and compliance with contract documents. This role is distinct from a Project Manager, who handles planning and administration; and from a Subcontractor, who performs a portion of the work under the Prime Contractor. In some contexts, Principal Contractor is used, but Prime Contractor is the standard term aligned with PC in this setting.
