I can't figure out how the hell that ever seemed like a good idea.

Look into taking the NASCLA exam.

Oh, and lets not forget the money that dipshit of a Mayor was handing out like free tickets to the fair.
Duck, Never attempted.
Took it last February. Had the study guide and CD with all the test questions, tabbed the books and took the test. Spent all 5hrs+ taking it. You were supposed to get 10 new test questions, I got 68 new questions on obscure shit in the Green building book, OSHA manual and other stuff. I passed but it took longer than the study exams were taking by 3.5hrs. The regular questions were the exact same as the study guide.
You just have to be familiar with the books, especially code and OSHA.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Yes, I submitted a career project list as well as my resume' and told them if they wanted my transcripts I had those as well. I got everything started as a BD2 on a personal financial and have gone to BD4 since. They changed the BD4 from reviewed to certified statements. I just don't want to pay the $8-10K for that audited statement for BD5 when I'm not looking to bid anything over the $1.5M. Might change as I grow but it won't be for a while.
The thing with the NASCLA exam is that for SC if you take that test, you can get your GC, Residential and Construction Manager's Certificate. You just have to take the law portion of the Residential, which is the exact same as the GC side just with a different book. You don't need your Residential to build houses, you're just limited to the constraints of your class on how big you can build. Whereas you can do unlimited in size on RBL but can't do shit on a commercial contract. I just got all of them, over-licensed and over-insured.

Go take the classes for your business law and your residential at contractors seminars in Columbia. I did for commercial business law and my master electrical. Very helpful.
Edgefield county will a resident pull a permit after a sign off. I think 5000 sq. ft is the cut off.
I wouldn't get a license. Get a licensed contractor to do the work and tell anybody that inspects it that this is the way it was when I bought it. "Didn't have to do a thing"
Thanks for all the advice fellas....many of this info has answered many of my questions. From my knowledge, counties handle obtaining permits different than others. I enjoy helping him doing these things, but one day I will be responsible for all his properties and future investments. Right now, I'm not involved with the financial side of it.....not purchasing items, also not receiving compensations either. He has tried to pay me many times, but I just can't make myself accept money from him for what I will be left when he passes (hopefully not anytime soon.) Therefore, it may do me some good to pursue the GC license now, cause one day I will have many decisions to make for previous properties and really hope to expand more possible future investments. I just could not decide whether to pursue the GC.....or just a sub contractor license.
You dont need a GC license to do residential work, you can pull permits with a specialty license for up to a few trades, but your plumber, hvac, and electrician will have to pull their own permits.
A builders license you can pull all trade permits and mechanical on the same permit given you submit a sub list with their license numbers..at least in Columbia and surrounding areas.
