License Limitations and Classifications for General Contractors
As you are completing your license application at NCLBGC.org, you will need to make sure to select the appropriate license limitation that matches your business goals. NCLBGC Licenses are sorted and determined by these limitations and classifications.
Limitations determine the dollar amount of the projects you may undertake. For example, if you receive a bid for a million dollar project, but your license limitation is $500,000, you will not be able to legally take on that project.
Classifications determine the type of work that you are licensed to complete. For example, if you receive a bid for a commercial project, but your license classification is for residential construction, you will not be able to legally accept that project.
