Since he doesn't need anything but a county occupational license "qualify" his consulting business the inclusion of his contractor's license is just puffing. It has the same legal standing as saying he is a member of the better business bureau or the Lions Club.
I can see that. It's just being used as a "credential". Although, we aren't lawyers.
Personally I think the Florida licensing laws address insurance and bonding more than actual technical competance anyway.
Agreed, although I did take the 8 hour state test (I wasn't "grandfathered in) and it is a bitch.
From what I can tell, the only time the "license" actually has to be involved is when the permit is pulled. In 8 years of inspecting I think I only saw the actual license holder on a job a couple times and he didn't have any dirt on his Gucci loafers.
I don't wear Gucci's, but I resemble that remark!

I'm sure most license holders aren't the guy working on the individual jobs, even if they are just running back and forth from job to job or the supply house.
I can't remember the last inspector I saw.
