Business & LicensingQuestion 1429 of 1605
A contractor licensed only as Class A General Engineering is asked to remodel the interior of an existing office (a general building project). What is the proper course?
a.Proceed; Class A covers everything
b.Refuse all work forever
c.Get a home improvement salesperson registration
d.Only take the project if it fits the General Engineering scope or the contractor adds/holds the appropriate Class B classification
Explanation
Under B&P Code section 7059, a contractor must work within its classification. General Engineering (Class A) covers fixed works, not general building remodels. To perform such building work as prime, the contractor needs a Class B classification.
