Requirements To Obtain a South Carolina Residential Builder 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.
Please view our Application Processing Services to streamline this process.
The South Carolina Residential Builder Exam is an open book 360-minute exam that requires a 70% score to pass. To use your time efficiently in the exam, it is extremely helpful to prepare in-depth and have your book tabbed and highlighted prior to the exam.
