    Great video! I'm happy I found it. I'm in the process of transitioning to general contracting, I've been in the remodeling industry for about 8 years, and I do all the work myself. I'm currently overloaded with work and it's hard to find anybody who wants to work. So I'm starting to subcontract stuff out. Thank you for your videos.

    I want to become an electrician and then eventually branch off into general contracting. Do you think this is a good route to go? Should I take classes on different trades as well when getting into this?

    How can you become a general contractor with no experience? I’ve been in construction my whole working career. I am currently a commercial / industrial journeyman electrician but want to become a home builder. How would I start?

  • @alvaroleis5803

    You need a license from the state to be a general contractor at least in Georgia where I am

    I have a MAJOR question. I have been wanting to find a new career, General Contracting is my new goal, however as I search online it says I must either have attended school or had experience for 4+ years.. here in the video you said there’s two types of Gen. Cont. 1 with full experience and the other with minimal but sales are good. Can you explain the difference between the two ? I was under the impression there’s only one General Contractor. However I don’t know and that’s why I’m here.

    • @alvaroleis5803
      @alvaroleis5803 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It really depends on what state you are located. In Georgia you need a state license which is not easy to get. I don’t where this guy is located but he says “you don’t need a license to register in your city as a general contractor”

    Is it worth it to learn the processes by getting a construction management degree and working under a gc for a few years ?

    Hello Esteban this is halden I’ve been doing construction for about 3 years I got my diploma at the local college at 16 and I’m now 19 and I’m wanting to learn how to be a contractor and if you could be my mentor

    This information is 100% wrong if you are saying you do not have to have a test and a certification through the Secretary of State and consumer affairs department. You must be licensed with knowledge proven in testing with financial documents to support your stability to be a licensed general contractor. Having a business license is not the same thing as being a licensed general contractor through the state, labor, and licensing and regulation board.

    • @jasonshi5735
      @jasonshi5735 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed, information is inaccurate. Any project $500 and above requires a license. The only way you are not required to have a license is if you own the property and you apply for an owner builder permit.

    • @Nicassaconstruction
      @Nicassaconstruction ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In Ohio a state license is not required to be a general contractor it’s at a city discretion and most cities only require you to register like Lakewood Ohio, Mentor and Painesville Ohio and more! Oh a bond and insurance is required.

      Brother these IDIOTS are a dime a dozen on TH-cam

    • @alvaroleis5803
      @alvaroleis5803 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes I was thinking the same. In Georgia you need a license if the project goes above $2500. He states you don’t need a license to register in your city?? You need a state license which is not easy to get, unless he is in a state where they don’t require it….

    Why do you need a business if it's just you?

  • @workenhard
    @workenhard ปีที่แล้ว

    Do not get into this without any experience. You will be eaten alive by the competition and the contractors that have put in their time.
    Plus if you cant swing a hammer every guy on site is going to know just by looking at you.

    This video feels dangerous. The information may be accurate in HIS state, but for example, in the state of Florida, this video is objectively inaccurate

      This guys basically saying “go out there and just start, figure the rest out later”
      Which tbh, works alot of times as long as youre ambitious and willing to learn quickly
      Mistakes will be made but thats part of the game

    Awesome that is American 🇺🇸 is getting smarter because allot of Jews people from Israel 🇮🇱 get here and in a week they get licenses🪪 and they grow there thousands of Jews us Americans need to encourage ourselves and our friends And get business done the bad thing is the Jewish general contractor hire unlicensed subcontractors. Witch make it hard for us that are actually licensed
