Which of the following circumstances would allow a qualifying individual to take the Class B General Building Contractor examination without meeting the standard four-year experience requirement?

Correct Answer

A) Currently holding a valid Class A General Engineering Contractor license

California Code of Regulations Title 16, Section 825.5 provides examination waivers for holders of valid Class A licenses applying for Class B, and vice versa. A construction degree alone does not waive experience requirements, and specialty contractor experience may not qualify for Class B without additional building trade experience.
