You are talking like you would go war against your own country/ government. Also, communication can be kept with simple "messenger guy" system, although not the fastest one, but armies and governments have used that for the most part of humankind's history.

The previously mentioned confiscation (eminent domain) includes labour, like you. You don't need private contractors, you just need people to do the work, whether soldiers or civilians. Army is prepared to make at least bridges, communication and roads, and under fire.

You do what you have to do, we are not talking about some spoiled little girls.
