Bridgeport general contractors must provide material, labor, equipment, and services for construction projects. Generally, contractors will hire specialized subcontractors to perform all functions of the construction work. 

Your Livelihood Could Be Taken Away

An individual who wishes to perform general contracting work in Bridgeport will first have to determine the scope of their work, and whether it requires a license. If you wish to work on commercial buildings such as multi-unit condos, healthcare facilities, and office buildings, you must obtain a Major Contractor license. If you wish to work on residential homes, you can either obtain a New Home Construction license or Home Improvement license. Keep in mind that you will be limited by the type of license you chose to obtain. In addition, there are situations where you could lose your license, such as:

Negligence or gross negligence. Flaws in buildings that repetitively occur could result in the loss of your license. 

Failure to pay. A construction related small claims judgment, citation, or arbitration decision could expose you to immediate loss or suspension of your license. 

Failure to comply with license restrictions. Working on projects you are not licensed for could create a license issue.
