How Can I Become a Licensed Home Builder?

To become licensed as a home builder in South Carolina, you are required to:

• File a written application as required by the Commission.
• Submit a certified check, cashiers check or money order for $100 for the application fee.
• Submit an affidavit showing proof of at least one year actual experience under the supervision of a licensed builder.
• Pass an examination given by PSI
• Pay a $160 license fee (certified check or money order) and provide proper financial responsibility.

A license may be granted without examination to those builders in good standing in other states deemed by the Commission to have comparable exams.

The license must be renewed every 2 years.
