How do I transfer
my license from
one company to
another? |
| |
|
A license
is not transferable from one entity to
another (LA R.S. 37:2156, Paragraph D). |
| |
back to TOP
I want to get my
license and then
form a corporation, LLC or
partnership.
What do I do? |
| |
|
If you intend to form a legal
entity such as a corporation, partnership,
or LLC, you should form the entity and make
application in the name of the entity.
It is not advisable to apply for an
individual license if the intent is to
ultimately form a corporation or other legal
entity. A license is not transferable
from one entity to another (LA R.S. 37:2156, Paragraph D). |
| |
back to TOP
I have a license in
my name. Can I
use it for my LLC? |
| |
|
An individual license is issued
to and may only be used by the owner of the
sole proprietorship. Any firm
(corporation, LLC, or partnership) owned by
the holder of an individual license would
need to obtain a separate license in the
name of the firm. Therefore, a sole
proprietor may not allow his license to be
used by a firm which he owns. |

How long will it
take to get a license? |
| |
|
On average, it takes 4-6 weeks
for an in-state license to be issued and
9-10 weeks for an out-of-state license to be
issued. There is a sixty-day waiting
period for out-of-state contractors which
begins on the date the application is
received. The amount of time required
to process a license depends on several
factors, including whether or not all
required paperwork and fees are submitted
and how promptly bank and
contractor/material supply dealer references
are returned. It is advisable to
contact all references to assure that
responses will be submitted timely. |
| |
back to TOP
My firm has
submitted an
application but I
have to bid a
job/start work
before the license can be issued.
Is this okay? |
| |
|
No. A contractor’s license is
required to bid, contract, or perform work in the amount of $50,000 or more ($1 or
more for hazardous) in the State of Louisiana. |
| |
back to TOP
Can I pay and extra
fee to get a temporary license? |
| |
|
There are no provisions in the
Louisiana Contractor’s License Law to allow
for a “temporary” license. |
| |
back to TOP
How can I obtain a copy of my
license certificate? |
| |
|
Mail or fax (225-765-2690)

proprietor for an individual license or an
officer for a corporate license or a member
for an LLC license or a partner for a
partnership license. |

I want to do a joint venture with a licensed
Louisiana contractor. How does that work? |
| |
|
All parties in a joint venture
are required to be licensed at the time the
bid is submitted. Each party to the joint
venture may only perform within the applicable
classifications of the work of which he is
properly classified to perform (Section
1103 of the Rules and Regulations of the
Board). |

back to TOP
Does a subcontractor need to be licensed at
the time of the bid? |
| |
|
A subcontractor who wishes to
submit a bid of $50,000 or more ($1 or more
for hazardous) must be properly licensed at
the time of the bid. |
| |
back to TOP
As a supplier/manufacturer, do I have to have
a license? |
| |
|
If you are just furnishing
material or equipment, you are considered a
manufacturer or supplier and no license is
required. Under normal circumstances, a
supplier can ship the product to a jobsite
with no further involvement on the project.
However, if you bid to furnish and install, even if you plan to hire a licensed
contractor to do the installation for you,
your firm is required to hold a license. |

Who classifies projects? |
| |
|
It is the responsibility of the
architect, engineer, or awarding authority
to classify public projects. |
| |
back to TOP
What if I think a
public project has
been classified incorrectly? |
| |
|
Once the project has been
classified by the architect, engineer, or
awarding authority, anyone objecting to the
classification must send a certified
letter to both the Board and the architect,
engineer, or awarding authority. The letter must be received at least ten
working days prior to the date on which
bids are to be opened. (LA R.S. 37:2163,
Paragraph D). |
| |

When must a project
be classified as electrical or mechanical? |
| |
|
A project must be classified as
Electrical or Mechanical when the majority of
the work falls under that classification. The
monetary value of the electrical or mechanical
material and/or equipment furnished by the
owner or builder, if any, is used in
determining the amount of electrical or
mechanical work involved. |

How do I know if the
project is private or public? |

I want to take on Construction Management jobs. What must I do?
If you will be signing contracts to perform Construction Management, you will need the appropriate classification to perform the work. For example, if you want to sign a contract to perform Construction Management to build a building, you would need the classification of Building Construction.
Alternatively, there are classifications available that are for Construction Management. It is unnecessary to hold these Construction Management classifications to perform Construction Management jobs if you hold the requisite classification for the work, as just described. However, since some owners/awarding authorities require a “Construction Management” classification, we have them available. You would still have to take the appropriate examination; for example, for the classification of Construction Management (Electrical Work), you would have to take the examination for Electrical Work (Statewide).
