Is a company (or owner) permitted to build its own office without a contactor’s license?
No. If the building will be open to the public, it is not considered for individual use and a commercial (BC-BC-B) contractor license classification is required if the total cost is $25,000 or more. The project cannot be split into phases/portions to circumvent the law. There are exemptions if the structure is not open to the public, or for sale, lease, or rent. See (TCA 62-6-103 and Rule 0680-1-.22) “Laws, Rules and Regulations” link from our website.
