Contractor Qualifier Connect operates a contractor qualifier network in South Carolina. We introduce licensed contractors willing to act as qualifiers to vetted construction companies that require a qualifying individual under South Carolina state law. Our role is limited to introduction, vetting, and administrative coordination.
No. We do not employ qualifiers, provide payroll services, or supervise construction activities. Any employment or engagement relationship exists directly between the company and the qualifier.
No. License renting, nominal qualification, or paper qualifying arrangements are expressly prohibited. All qualifiers must comply with supervision and responsibility requirements imposed by South Carolina law.
South Carolina has its own licensing authority (SCLB), classifications, and employment requirements. Our agreements utilize South Carolina-specific addendums that identify the correct licensing authority, terminology, and employment requirements for this jurisdiction.
Licensed contractors may join if they hold an active South Carolina license in good standing and are interested in qualifying opportunities. Joining the network does not guarantee placement or require acceptance of any engagement.
Compensation, duties, and supervision are governed solely by the agreement between the company and the qualifier. Our placement fees compensate us for network operation, vetting, matching, and administrative coordination only.
The SCLB licensing process is strict, often time-consuming, and punishes companies that try to navigate it without expert support. Projects stall. Permits get denied. Contracts are lost.
At South Carolina Qualifier Connect, we know the SCLB inside and out. Do not risk your project. Get the right qualifier in your corner today.
Charleston | Columbia | Greenville | Spartanburg | Myrtle Beach | Rock Hill | Hilton Head | Florence | Summerville | Mount Pleasant | Anderson | Aiken | Beaufort | Conway | Orangeburg — and every county in between.

Every testimonial on this page comes from a CSLB-regulated contractor or licensed qualifying individual who used California Qualifier Connect. These are the real experiences of California-based construction professionals navigating the CSLB system with our support.
Do not let licensing delays cost you another contract.
• Responsible Managing Officer (RMO): An individual who is a bona fide officer of the corporation. They typically have more flexibility but must still exercise “direct supervision and control.”
• Responsible Managing Employee (RME): A full-time employee who must work at least 32 hours per week or 80% of the company’s operating hours. If you are an RME, your own personal sole-owner license must be moved to inactive status.
Yes, but only under specific conditions. An RMO can qualify up to three firms in any one-year period if they hold at least 20% ownership in each firm. If they own less than 20%, they are generally restricted to qualifying only one firm.
California requires a $25,000 Contractor’s Bond for all licenses. Additionally, if the qualifier (RMO) owns less than 10% of the voting stock of the corporation, a separate $25,000 Bond of Qualifying Individual is required.
Yes. California LLC licenses have much higher financial bars:
• A $100,000 LLC Employee/Worker Bond (in addition to the standard $25,000 bond).
• A minimum of $1 million in General Liability insurance.
The CSLB requires at least four years of journey-level experience within the last 10 years in the specific classification you are applying for. This experience must be verifiable by a qualified individual who has firsthand knowledge of your work.
Yes. You can receive up to three years of credit for technical training, apprenticeship programs, or relevant college degrees (e.g., in Business, Engineering, or Architecture). At least one year must still be practical, hands-on field experience.
Every new applicant must complete the Asbestos Open Book Examination before a license can be issued. This is not a certification to perform asbestos work, but rather a mandatory safety awareness requirement for all California contractors.
If an RMO or RME disassociates from the license, you must notify the CSLB in writing within 90 days. You then have that same 90-day window to file an Application for Replacing the Qualifying Individual. Failure to do so results in the automatic suspension of the license.
You can request a single 90-day extension if you can show “good cause” for the delay. This request must be signed by an officer already listed on the license and submitted before the initial 90-day period expires.
Contractor Qualifier Connect operates a contractor qualifier network. We introduce licensed contractors who are willing to act as qualifiers to vetted construction companies that require a qualifying individual under applicable state law.
Our role is limited to introduction, vetting, and administrative coordination. We do not perform construction services, supervise work, or act as a licensing authority.
