A California Class B prime contract for a building remodel requires roofing, electrical, drywall and concrete work. Which feature supports the general-building classification’s multi-trade requirement?

Correct Answer

B) The structure requires at least two unrelated trades other than framing or carpentry.

The building project uses multiple unrelated trades beyond framing or carpentry. Section 7057(b) excludes framing and carpentry when counting the two unrelated trades for a project involving other trades. The listed roofing, electrical, drywall and concrete scopes support that test, subject to the remaining classification requirements. Owner-purchased materials alone do not establish the license scope. Source: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/Resources/GuidesAndPublications/2026/2026_CSLB_Law_Book.pdf
