Confirm This Is the Right License for Your Work

Every state licensing board defines the exact project types, sizes, and trades that fall under each contractor classification. Review the scope below to make sure this license matches the work you actually do — then enroll in the seminar that prepares you for that exam the first time.

This exam covers a broad range of activities performed by a General Contractor. Examination questions are based on research of accepted business and trade practices as determined by surveyed current professionals in the field of General Building.

Every aspect of commercial, residential and public works construction is regulated at the state level.

License Requirements

The Business Law exam is also required, in addition to the General Building exam.

Applications for licensure must be submitted to the Board by the 20th of the month for review by the Board during the following month. (The Board does not review applications or meet in December)

Once the application is approved, the qualifying individual or responsible managing employee must successfully complete the appropriate licensing examinations.

Upon completion of the exam process, the applicant must submit license fees, and proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.

Four-years of supervisory experience, within the last ten years, are required.

Prior to licensure, applicants must submit a certificate of insurance for worker's compensation and a certificate of insurance from their insurer showing liability coverage in the following amounts:

Property Damage = $50,000 per occurrence

Bodily Injury = $100,000 per person/$300,000 per occurrence

Reciprocity

Hawaii does not have reciprocity agreements with any other states.

Continuing Education

Currently, Hawaii does not require continuing Education for its contractors.

The Exam

This exam is Closed-Book with 80 questions and a 4-hour time limit.

Passing score of 75% is required.

The Business and Law examination is also required.

Exam questions include topics: Plan Reading and Estimating, Sitework and Concrete, Masonry and Carpentry, Metals, Thermal and Moisture Protection, Doors and Windows, Finishes, Safety

The exam fees are $65 per portion, with most classifications requiring 2 portions, one of which is Business Law.
