What you'll get

Ryan Cody and Joel Macon use a limited-license holder who wants to build a $2 million home to show why borrowing a friend's higher license counts as license lending, and they describe the proper routes: raise your limit before you sign, with an agreed-upon procedures report, an audit or a bond, or form a joint venture in which both parties hold the right classification and one holds the right limit. They add that a licensee with a residential classification cannot bid a commercial project by borrowing a building contractor's permit.

Do this week

Compare the largest project you hope to bid in the next two years with the tier you plan to apply for, and pick the tier that covers it so you never need to borrow another contractor's license.
