If I contract a job to another who acts as a sub-contractor, will the sub-contractor need to have an appropriate Construction Supervisor or Specialty License for the work?
. If the sub-contractor is supervising the construction, then he/she must have the appropriate license for the work (whether it be one of the existing construction supervisor license categories or one of the new Specialty License categories). If the person sub-contracting the work is still overseeing the construction, then that person must have the appropriate license, not the subcontractor. The regulations define this as a licensed designee. If you designate the authority to someone else to act as the supervisor (even though you may have secured the permit under your license), that person has been designated to act as the supervisor of construction activities (whether roofing, siding or an entirely new home) and therefore needs to be licensed in the appropriate category. The licensed designee does not require further supervision by you, although you may wish to do so. If you secure a permit under your own license (regardless of category), but choose to sub-contract the work to another
