We are a professional services company based out of CA. We engineer, deploy, and maintain cellular, public Safety, and other wireless technologies. We would sub our labor out to local Florida Licensed Low Voltage Contractors. Our engineering and commissioning is done in CA. We would support the installation with a Project Manager unless we are the sub and therefore we wouldn’t PM. What license do we need to get and what is the easiest way to get the information needed to apply?...Read More

Someone is filing against my contractor's bond from over 3 years ago and I never had a contract or payment from this party. I never did any work through them, but a previous owner. They didn't even purchase this property until 5/1/17. Job was signed off by city 1/16/16 according to all building codes and permits. I am thinking they have no claim and are being frivolous.

Hi there, I understand that my following question may be outside your scope of business. But, I'm new to the Construction business, but I am a life long entrepreneur with very sound business background. I've recently started a construction company and initially began doing handyman type work, but due to partner's background, we have done several projects that are more General Construction contracting based. In fact, we've done several projects for a publicly traded Company and they are prepared to provide us with more work, but we will absolutely need to pull permits because the upcoming work is structural. Thank you, Roberto ...Read More

We are currently building a multifamily building in Southern California that is 2 stories of wood frame over concrete foundation and podium. We have engaged with a General Contractor to subcontract the frame and concrete work at the project. For the sake of clarity lets call this GC as GC 1. GC 1 has engaged with another company to perform the concrete and frame work, later on we found out that the company that GC 1 has engaged with also holds a General B license, which makes the company a general contractor. So lets call this company GC 2. So GC 1 has contracted GC 2 to perform the work and GC 2 has used its employees in its payroll to perform the work. GC 2 does not hold a C5 or C8 license. Does this mean that the company GC1 hired as a subcontractor (which is GC 2), does not have the proper licensing since they executed the job as a subcontract? The crew that GC 2 would pour concrete and then the same crew would switch their tools and work as framers. The quality of the work has caused problems such as problems with drywall not being level, windows not being level, water leak through concrete, additional stucco work to cover the concrete that was not properly formed are just a couple that comes to my mind. What is the best way to recoup some of the damages that were caused by GC 2 due to performing a trade without C5 or C8 license? And what kind of action can we take against the GC1 which has subcontracted this work to GC 2 knowing that the only license they have was a General B License?...Read More

My Nephew started a demolition business but branched into selling siding and roofing, where he hired a contractor in the area to perform the labor and supply materials. He is also operating in several states. Does he need to be licensed as a General Contractor to expand his business into hiring contractors to do siding or roofing jobs? Thanks so much....Read More
