A general contractor wants an uncertified subcontractor to perform carpentry within the general contractor’s own licence scope. Does s. 489.113(2) allow it?
Correct Answer
B) Yes, if the supervising contractor is responsible and the work needs no licence under 489.105(3)(d)-(o)
Section 489.113(2) permits the described supervised work only within the supervising contractor’s license scope, with that contractor responsible, and outside work requiring the listed (3)(d)–(o) category licenses. It expressly preserves applicable local construction licensing ordinances. Owner permission or a future application does not replace these conditions.
