How to Build A Business with a General Contractor’s License?

During the present economy, finding a way to make money can seem tough for those in the building industry. There are many reasons why work has been on a down trend although there are still many people in the building industry that have more work than he or she can handle. One of the reasons is that some people have attained their general contractor’s license. A general contractor’s license allows a person to participate in all aspects of building such as framing, plumbing, electrical, and any other jobs that require licenses. Although the builder is not actually licensed in plumbing and electrical work, he or she can contract jobs out to those that are licensed but still pull permits under their general contractor’s license. In the past, this ability has not been that big of a deal, but now people are looking for someone with the ability to complete all of their projects in hopes of getting a better deal.Contractor’s Licensing TestAnyone who has taken the general contractor’s license test will tell you that it is not an easy test to take. One must know codes in every aspect of building depending on whether or not he or she is applying for a residential or commercial license. Many codes are similar for residential and commercial buildings although commercial buildings do have more contingencies and regulations. There are many classes and computer software available for those seeking their general contractor’s license. Some software products are merely random test generators of older tests. Some test prep software will offer a guarantee with their products such as double your money back if you do not pass. Many of these software companies use these tests to continually inundate the potential test taker with questions until he or she remembers them. This is unfortunate because many times the potential contractor is not learning anything about building but merely memorizing answers to questions. However, there are many books available to potential test takers that are very involved and will teach the potential general contractor everything he or she needs to know as long as he or she is willing to put in the time needed.

What to do when a contractor does not want to pay a sub contractor?

A subcontractor can turn to Construction or mechanics lien law in order to secure payment. By being lien law compliant, meeting specific requirements such as preliminary notices and within time restrictions, a subcontractor can withhold payments to the primary contractor or lien the property. Lien laws are state specific and you should check your state's statutes for the requirements and restrictions. Property owners can protect themselves from these liens by requesting waivers or releases from all subcontracts and the primary contractor for each payment as well as a Contractor's Affidavit at the end of the job in exchange for the final payment.
