Justin Wilson Speaker at Construction EXPOHigh Performance Building

Santa Barbara, CA) - The Santa Barbara Con-struction EXPO is coming to Santa Barbara Fri-day October 4, 2013 at the Fess Parker Double-tree Resort.

The EXPO will offer attendees three educational sessions presented by Justin Wilson.

Sessions I and IIHigh Performance Building Fundamentals

Session IIIMarketing and Selling High Performance Homes

Justin’s diverse background in the building in-dustry began over 17 years ago. He is a manag-ing partner with Construction Instruction (Ci), which provide a wide range of services includ-ing; training and education, building perfor-mance assessments and vetting building prod-ucts. Justin has helped create the largest web and mobile app for the construction industry, providing state of the art construction details, interactive assembly animations, and building science information.

His area of expertise is in creating highly ad-vanced energy efficient buildings through high performance process integration, implemen-tation and testing. He draws upon his experi-ences in the field of applied building science to design quality enclosures and mechanical sys-

tems and to guide the construction of durable, healthy and low energy buildings. His objective is to assist our industry in the development and delivery of cost effective net zero energy buildings. Justin has developed and delivered presentations on technical building matters for nearly 10 years throughout North America.

A few of the recipients of Justin’s seminars include the US Green Building Council, Built Green Colorado, The National Association of Home Builders, National Renewable Energy Laboratories, Enterprise Green Communities, Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, US-GBC and the Energy & Environmental Building Alliance (EEBA).

When Justin is not conducting seminars he can be found working closely with a broad range of builders. Justin enjoys the challenge of solving building issues and finding creative solutions to complex problems. His one-on-one custom consultations enable builders to implement energy efficiency, advanced building science and green building practices into their custom homes, production homes or commercial build-ings. He also works with manufacturers vetting new building products by performing a thor-ough analysis of the product’s quality, usability, compatibility and relevance in the field. He has

Capitol Connection Q & A for ContractorsBy Shauna Krause, President, Capitol Services, Inc.

When is a protest appropriate? Competition if often tight in construction bidding so knowing the rules and regulations is often crucial to keep-ing ahead of the curve in winning bids. Getting your license can also be complex or confusing, and the advice we share today may be helpful to many who also want to ‘experience’ what it’s like to have your own contractor’s license…

Q: First, let me say thank you for your wonderful service, we read your column every week.

Now for my questions, a situation has come up where an out-of-state contractor is in the pro-cess of obtaining their CA contractor’s license (“almost finalized”) but they currently have a private commercial project out to bid (they are a Prime Contractor and will be hiring Subs). They’ve stated that their CA license will be is-sued before construction starts. The following was copied from the CSLB website: “All busi-nesses or individuals who construct or alter any building, highway, road, parking facility, railroad, excavation, or other structure in California must be licensed by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) if the total cost (labor and materials) of one or more contracts on the proj-ect is $500 or more. Contractors, including sub-contractors, specialty contractors, and persons engaged in the business of home improvement (with the exception of joint ventures and proj-ects involving federal funding) must be licensed before submitting bids.”

Does this mean that only in residential work you have to have a license to ‘submit a bid’ but in commercial building you can bid without one and just have to have it by the time you sign con-tracts? Or maybe not even at contract signing, but only once you start actual work?

This would be valuable information for us to know and I’d like to caution this out-of-state contractor if warranted. Your help is greatly ap-preciated.

A: Thank you for contacting Capitol Services and also for following the weekly column. The key to that statement that you found on the CSLB’s website is “Contractors, including subcontrac-tors, specialty contractors, and persons engaged in the business of home improvement (with the exception of joint ventures and projects involv-ing federal funding) must be licensed before submitting bids.”

All contractors regardless of whether it is resi-dential or commercial work, with the exception mentioned above, are required to be licensed before submitting bids.

Further, B&P Code Section 7028 states that it’s a misdemeanor for a person to engage in the busi-ness or act in the capacity of a contractor within the State without having a license (with very few exceptions as mentioned above). Bidding on work as well as signing contracts is considered

acting in the capacity of a contractor and there-fore a license is needed.

Q: I’ve been selling construction for 7 years now and recently I wanted to get my own contractor’s license. I was told by the school I went to that I need to have 4 years of practical experience do-ing the actual work and not only selling. Is that true? And if it is, is there a way around it?

A: Whomever you spoke with at the school you attended was correct in that some practical ex-perience is required in order to obtain your con-tractor’s license in California. You are required to document at least four full years of experience at a journey level, or as a foreman, supervisor, or contractor in the trade that you are applying for. At least one full year needs to be practical expe-rience. There is no way around this requirement. The CSLB will consider education credit toward the four years of required work experience. The amount of time they will credit you depends on your education level, your field of study and the specific trade you are applying for.

While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assis-tance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email [email protected], or write us at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.
