Hi Jack. First of all, as stated in the post, you can`t hire a qualifier. I do not know whether you intend to do that or not, but from your “very urgent” statement, it makes me believe it. A qualifier must be involved in the day-to-day construction activities of the business, so if you just want to use/lease someone`s C-17 license, you can`t do that. Second, assuming your qualifier will be involved in the company`s day-to-day construction activities, you may want to read our article on getting a contractor`s license – calconstructionlawblog.com/2013/09/04/what-you-need-to-know-about-obtaining-a-contractors-license-in-california/ – discussing the differences between RMOs and RMEs. Hi James. You probably won`t find a definitive answer because each individual`s situation is different. Think of it as a sliding scale. Article 7068.1 of the Code des entreprises et des professions stipulates that a qualifier, whether it is an RMO or an RME, “is responsible for exercising such direct supervision and control over the construction activity of his employer or principal, in order to ensure compliance with the […] the rules and regulations of the Board of Directors. Section 823 of the California Code of Regulations, in turn, defines “direct monitoring and control” as “any or a combination of the following activities: supervising construction, managing construction activities through technical and administrative decisions, reviewing contracts for proper treatment or direct supervision on construction sites.” So the question is whether you exercise direct supervision and control, and it depends on your involvement in the construction work of the company. Companies across the state have offered to “lease” contractor licenses so that their business can qualify to perform a construction operation. Licensees were offered several hundred dollars a month for this. But the amendments to article 7068.1 of the Code of Business and Professions (B&P) clearly stipulate that a person must have direct control and supervision of the construction work of his employer or school principal, under penalty of disciplinary and criminal charges (punishable by imprisonment of up to six months, with a fine of $3,000 to $5,000, or both). In some U.S.

states, you may need direct work experience to get a license, while in others, you don`t need it to become a general contractor. You should verify this by checking your state`s local requirements. The only way to legally qualify a business is for an already licensed contractor to qualify the business or the person pursuing the contract must become a qualified agent by filing an application with the Construction Industry Licensing Board. If you don`t have construction experience yet, consider training or take small jobs that don`t require a license. This could help you get a better idea of the industry. In order for a qualified person to obtain a contractor`s license, they must meet the experience requirements of the California Contractors State License Board (“CSLB”) and pass a written legal and audit exam and a specific professional exam for each classification in which the person applies for a license. How long has it been since the license of the new RME expired? If it has been in the last five years, it may be an EMR on your license without having to retake the exams. If its license is inactive, it must remain inactive for it to be an EMR on a license. To complete the application, you can go to www.cslb.ca.gov, click on Forms/Publications, and then select the Original Contractor Application license. Download the PDF or fill it out online. Or you can use a service like mine where I can either review an app you`re preparing or prepare the app for you. What is the responsibility of a contractor who draws a permit under his licence but registers as a representative of an unlicensed business that subsequently hires workers without a permit to perform the work? (The original contractor did not perform any work on the project).

This is great because I have studied how the license works, very interesting to know if such work can be done legally, the name of the company you are eligible for will appear in your license file. If something goes wrong, not only will your reputation be affected and you will be held responsible for all related damages, injuries and defects. Even if you are not directly on the site, your name is at stake and you pay penalties that may include criminal charges, fines, loss of license and compensation for those who are injured on the site. Hello SC. When you say “out of state enterprise,” I don`t know if you mean the company operates outside the state or if it`s an out-of-state corporation with a California contractor`s license working in California. I guess it`s the last one. You have risks as an RMO. If it is determined that you are a fake RMO, or in other words, an RMO by name only, who does not oversee the Company`s day or daytime mining operations, you may be prevented from serving as a qualifier for another license, could have a claim against your eligible surety (if you have one). and could (although I think it is deleted) be subject to personal responsibility. For licensed contractors who want to add a classification, or new contractors who want to get a contractor`s license, who don`t have a qualified person who has a license in the classification they`re looking for, the solution may seem simple.

What the CSLB doesn`t do is you have to prove that you actually own 20%. All you have to do is indicate 20% on the license application. When I fill out a client application, I inform them of the 20% rule, but nothing prevents the Company and the Qualifier from having a cover letter stating that the Qualifier does not own voting shares. This agreement also specifies the amount of compensation for the qualifier. The qualifier will obviously not work for free, so compensation will be part of this agreement. I do not know why theLBS chose the word “rent” other than to try to discourage qualifiers from doing what the law allows. A contractor`s license is a license provided by the government or a “professional organization” such as a union or guild that allows its owner to legally perform various contract work. Hello My name is danny pakravan I build houses up to code with full permission from the city, but I need to rent a contractor`s license for bank construction loans etc., my number is 3108896050 leasing, rent, uh. No. You will need to apply for a license with an RMO as a qualifier. This RMO should have direct monitoring and control over the work you do.

A: It depends on what exactly you mean by “renting” an RMO. We hear this term a lot and it means different things to different people. .
