I Need To Know What To Do

Getting licensed can feel like a maze. 50 states follow a standard “4-Step” framework.

  • 1. Verify Your Experience

    Most states require 4 years of verifiable experience.

  • Pro Tip: Education (like a Construction Management degree) can often substitute for 1–3 years of field work.
  • No Experience? You can still own a company by hiring a “Qualifier”—a licensed individual who “loans” their license to your business.

  • 2. Pass the Required Exams

    You typically need to pass two or three exams:

  • Business & Finance: Law, taxes, and project management.
  • Trade Exam: Technical knowledge of your specific craft (General Building, Electrical, etc.).
  • NASCLA Exam: A “national” exam accepted by multiple states (NC, GA, etc.) to help you work across state lines.

  • 3. Proof of Financials & Insurance

    States want to know you won’t go bust mid-project.

  • Credit Score: A score of 660+ is often the “magic number.” If you’re below this, you’ll likely need a Surety Bond.
  • Insurance: You’ll need General Liability and Workers’ Comp (unless exempt).

  • 4. Background & Fingerprinting

    Most states require a clean criminal record or an explanation for past issues, along with live-scan fingerprinting.
