CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR LICENSE
INFORMATION FOR BUILDERS & REMODELERS
The Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Inspections requires that builders obtain their Construction Supervisor License (CSL) from a certified provider in order for them to obtain building permits from local building departments. Preparation courses are offered and a test is required to obtain the CSL. Licenses are to be renewed every two years with proof of the required continuing education credits (CEU's).
There are many independent Construction Supervisor License preparation Course providers in Massachusetts. You can find the application and more information from Mass.gov website. The Commonwealth provides this list of CSL coordinators and access to their websites.
BRAGB, your other state local chapter and the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Massachusetts also provide CSL education. You can search for educational events here.
WHY LICENSE?
A Construction Supervisors License (CSL) is required by building departments before they will issue a permit. A person holding a license is required to be on the job. Get in compliance. Pursue licensure for yourself and your employees and be that much more marketable in today's competitive business climate.
TYPES OF LICENSES
Restricted License: Valid for work on 1 & 2 Family Dwellings Only.
Unrestricted License: Valid for work on any building, up to 35,000 cubic feet of space.
