Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 230-X-1-.26 - Fifty-One Percent Regulation

(1) Any project in the State of Alabama for construction, erection, modification, alteration, or addition of or to any building, highway, sewer, grading or any improvement or structure where the cost of the undertaking is $50,000 or more ($5,000.00 or more in the case of swimming pools) must be constructed by a contractor licensed by the Board. A general contractor may undertake to construct or superintend the construction of any project if 51% or more of the work as measured by the cost (labor, materials, tools, construction equipment cost and installed equipment) falls within the major classification, subclassification or specific subclassification in which the contractor is licensed. On any project where no major classification, subclassification or specific subclassification constitutes 51% or more of the work as measured by the cost (labor, materials, tools, construction equipment cost and installed equipment), the contractor may undertake to construct or superintend the construction of such project if the contractor is licensed in the major classification, subclassification or specific subclassification which constitutes the greatest part of the work on the project as measured by the cost (labor, materials, tools, construction equipment cost and installed equipment).

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection, contractors holding licenses with Building Construction (BC) appearing thereon may undertake to construct or superintend the construction of any project even if 51% or more of the work as measured by the cost (labor, materials, tools, construction equipment cost and installed equipment) falls outside the major classification of Building Construction (BC) so long as such work is required to make the building usable for its intended purpose.
