Fixed costs are the expenses that do not change with the level of output or activity in a construction project. They are usually incurred before the project starts or are contractually agreed upon. Some examples of fixed costs are land acquisition, permits, design fees, insurance, taxes, and overhead.
In California, you need a contractor license to do any work that costs more than $500. The easiest kind of contractor's license is a Class “B” Contractor's License. This license allows you to do general contracting work.
After that, you will need to submit your application to the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB). The CSLB reviews applications in the order they are received and typically takes four to six weeks to process an application.
Q: Can anyone become a Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) in California? A: No, not everyone can become an RMO.
