All other application requirements must be fulfilled, including a personal board interview. The BC-A/r licensee cannot exceed their monetary limit; there is not a 10% tolerance. In addition, they cannot joint venture with another licensed contractor to combine monetary limits. The contractor’s monetary limit must cover the total project, which includes: land, labor, materials and equipment, as well as profit.
