A general contractor may also enter into a contract for special work, but must have a special licence for that work or hire a specialized contractor to perform the work. The only exception is if the work requires more than two types of work on a building. Then, it is appropriate for a licensed general contractor to commission and supervise the entire project. For example, if your kitchen renovation work involves plumbing, electrical, and carpentry work under a single contract, you should hire a licensed “B” general construction contractor. In these circumstances, a contractor “B” may perform all work on a building or assign parts of the contract to specially licensed contractors.

Hello, I encountered a problem with a local construction department requiring a C-licensed contractor to perform the excavation on a house replacement construction site. The engineer claims that this is a government requirement. However, according to your blog, a general contractor with a B license should be able to do such work on their own, as no C-16 or C-57 license is required.

Can you guide me to more information? Thank you, Mimi Jenny. I can`t give you legal advice and I don`t know what the scope of the renovation work on your bathroom was, but if it was a $20,000 remodel, it seems that at least two unrelated construction or craft trades other than framing and carpentry are involved. In this case, the contractor would be authorized to perform this work under its Class B general contractor licence. Your remedies are to file a complaint with the Contractors State License Board, make a claim against the Contractor`s license bond, and/or take legal action against the Contractor. Of course, you can pragmatically contact the entrepreneur to see if he will settle the situation without you having to take legal action.

I think I`m a little confused with what exactly “two unrelated constructions or trades … Average pain. Can you explain that to me in more detail? Just for background reasons – the other contractors who were called during the work were the electrician, the glassmaker for the shower and the guy who made the hot mop. All the other things were done by the contractor. This remodeling involved complete evisceration from the bathroom to the bones if it helps.
