Locate a Qualifier

Contractor Licensing Inc. offers placement services to connect qualified, licensed contractors with companies nationwide across the United States. These services enable companies without current state licenses to bid on and perform services. Placement arrangements can be either short-term or long-term.

In the construction industry, qualifiers are individuals with proven experience and passing exam results, essential for obtaining a contractor’s license through the state contractors board. In most states, operating without such a license is not permissible. To secure a license, a company must designate an individual as a qualifying agent who possesses requisite knowledge and typically 4 to 8 years of relevant experience (depending on the state).

Qualifiers can be owners, officers, employees, or other qualified personnel of the company. When a company’s principals lack the necessary experience for obtaining a contractor’s license, qualifier placement services facilitate the pairing of an experienced individual with the company. This arrangement allows the company to obtain a license promptly, ensuring legal operation in the state.

The role of qualifier placement serves dual purposes: it expedites the licensing process, enabling companies to start operations swiftly, and it provides an opportunity for the company’s owners, officers, or employees to gain the requisite experience over time. This experience can eventually qualify them to sit for the necessary exams and obtain the contractor’s license independently.
