Requirements To Obtain a South Carolina Residential Builder Contractor License

In South Carolina (SC), the pursuit of a successful career as a general contractor necessitates obtaining the appropriate state license for various types of construction work. Specifically, a general contractor’s license is mandatory for engaging in commercial projects exceeding $5,000 in value. Moreover, both residential general work surpassing $5,000 and residential specialty work exceeding $200 require state licensure. As part of the licensure process, candidates are required to successfully pass two examinations: the business and law exam, as well as the trade-specific exam. If you wish to perform only residential work, you must contact the Residential Builders Commission at (803) 896-4696. For more information, please visit South Carolina Labor Licensing Regulation. Navigating the South Carolina contractor licensing process can be complex, but our team is here to provide the guidance and resources you need. We offer comprehensive education and exam preparation materials to help you excel in both the business and law exam as well as the trade-specific exam. With our support, you can approach the licensure process with confidence, knowing that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed. Steps To Obtain Your License:

  1. Candidates must pass the required examination(s) mandated by the state.
  2. Minimum qualification must be met before registering for the examination.
  3. Candidates for the residential builder contractor’s license must have at least 1 year of hands-on experience within the last 5 years in the general or residential contractor classification in which these candidates are seeking licensure.
  4. The experience must be documented on an experience affidavit submitted with the license application after passing the required examinations.

Reviews

  1. Ricky Balch

    For what it’s worth, I’m only a week in, Five days of studying. Today I received my second email prompting me to review the class, it was marked as my last chance to review. It seems a little odd. The math questions seem to be adequate for the task. I had learned a couple of tricks. There does seem to be quite a bit of content. Today I began highlighting books. I have to say that I did not enjoy the computer simulated narration. A human voice would be so much better and easier to understand. Fortunately it is easy to replay any section and to move forward and backward. I do like that it is in a slideshow format versus a video which would need to be continuously paused while highlighting.
