If you plan to build any project with a value of $1,000 or more, you need this license. This includes renovation and remodeling projects, as well as new builds. Obtaining the B100 designation demonstrates that you have the education, knowledge, and experience necessary to complete the work successfully.
Most GC license holders coordinate and oversee subcontractors who perform the physical work. With this license, you can complete some types of work on the project yourself. However, you cannot perform any electrical, plumbing, or elevator repair work unless you also hold the respective license(s) for those trades.
With a B100 license, you can build any size or type of structure, from tool sheds to high-rise buildings. You cannot, however, construct any heavy highway, dams, or bridge projects with this license.

If you are interested in getting your B100 license, it’s helpful to know the steps required.
You must meet the experience requirements. Otherwise, you won’t be approved for licensure. You must have two years (4,000 hours) of paid work experience over the course of your lifetime. Alternatively, you meet the experience requirement if you:
You must attend a 30-hour pre-licensing course before taking your contractor’s license test. This course covers all the information you need in order to pass your test.
Finally, you must sit for and pass the Utah business and law exam for general contractors. However, you may be able to waive this requirement if you hold a comparable license in another state. The license must be active and in good standing, and you must have held it for one year or longer.
