Under North Carolina law, any person or firm or corporation who for a fixed price, commission, fee or wage undertakes to bid upon or to construct or who undertakes to superintend or manage, on his own behalf or for any person, firm or corporation that is not licensed as a general contractor, the construction of any building, highway, public utilities, grading or any improvement or structure where the cost of the undertaking is $30,000 or more, or undertakes to erect a North Carolina labeled manufactured modular building meeting the North Carolina state building code must be licensed by the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors. It is important to note that a partnership, corporation or LLC must be separately licensed from the individual person serving as the qualifier for such business. A contractor’s failure to comply with North Carolina licensing requirements will prevent the contractor from enforcing the provisions of the contract or collecting fees due.
