How to bid small construction jobs?

Construction Job Advise?

  • I am doing handy work,small jobs and I get a call from a real estate agent, and of course I want to make more money and get experience so I bid on the Job, and I won, the job was a complete rehab of an attic, framing sheetrock spackle tape carpet, electrical, the works, And now complete, this job required permits to be pulled from the home owner because I am not insured, nor am I liecensed, but I am experienced and have the knowledge and apparently I can sell myself pretty good.. I got another call this time from a different real estate agency, and they want me completely gut out a commercial property and aquire building plans, I can read blue prints, so thats not a problem, I am not sure how to proceed with this Job, should I sub-contract parts out, should I hire a crew, Can I do this job with-out being insured and licensed, if the real estate agent is advised of this, I know I can do residential, with the owner pulling permits, Thats not a problem Eventually I will get licensed and insured but since I haven't worked on a construction crew it is hard to get insured, becaus you have no "papered" experience,

  • Answer:

    be careful, where i live doing construction repairs as a contractor without a license is a felony.

Don't listen to HD he knows nothing about the law. Generally if it's going to be a project more than $30,000 you don't need your license, but it varies from state to state. Look it up for yours.
