Limited state licensing

Check the rules for this work

South Carolina’s Residential Builders Commission regulates residential builders and residential specialty contractors. Residential builder work is defined by the building’s size and a project cost exceeding $5,000.

Residential specialty credentials differ: plumbers, electricians and HVAC installers need licenses; several other specialties use registrations. General and mechanical contracting under Chapter 40-11 follows a separate framework. Choose the credential that matches the project.
