A general building contractor may not perform plumbing, electrical, refrigeration, air-conditioning or fire protection without the appropriate specialty license.

This license allows the construction with prefabricated steel of structures to be used for the support, shelter or enclosure of persons or animals or other chattels.

This is not a license by itself. It is however required by all types of contractors. The State has created a trade exam for most licenses. When a trade exam is available, applicants must take both the trade exam and the Management Survey Exam. When there is no trade exam, the Management Survey exam is the only exam required in order to obtain that license. Each individual license’s information page will explain which tests are required.

We carry many editions of the NEC in our online bookstore as well. Most editions are highlighted and tabbed for better reference.
