I am aware of the individual trade licensing and the permitting process. The conversation that I'm speaking on was moreso referring to developers needing some type of license if they were not using a GC on their project. An by reading all of the comments, I can tell that what I heard was a bunch of misinformation being given. I appreciate all of the feedback. BP Fam Bam Rock😎🏆💯!

@Joe Villeneuve, they weren't talking to me, but I thought I'd ask about it b/c I'd never heard that said before.

What up BP Fam Bam!

I overheard a conversation where someone stated that if a developer is the GC of their own project they must be a licensed contractor. Would someone confirm if this is true or false.

Good day BP Fam Bam!

I heard a conversation taking place where it was said that a developer that was managing their own project had to have a GC license. Is that a fact or are there caveats to that statement?

@JD Martin, so basically, using a concrete company w/o their own equipment is unwise. Not bc of their cost basis (bc that's their issue) but moreso do to the fact that they could get jammed up on their equipment rental, which could impact the project, ultimately costing the developer. Is this an accurate synopsis to your comment?

Quote from @Preston Dean:

@Michael L.

The said company might have to rent the equipment at first but eventually all successful companies will have their own equipment. Just because they don't have their own equipment right now doesn't mean they aren't successful but may just mean they need more time to allocate the correct funds 

 @Preston Dean, respect💯!

Will a good concrete company have access to the necessary equipment to grade and dig to prep the site or is it customary to have to rent that equipment for the concrete work to be done?
