Home Owner Advice: Why Choose an A-Licensed General Engineering Contractor

Why choose an A-General Engineering Contractor for your project?

When planning a project that impacts public works (public assets such as a street), you need the right contractor to ensure the job is done correctly and legally. While a C36 Plumbing License allows plumbers to handle many tasks, only an A-Licensed General Engineering Contractor can legally work on public works, such as sidewalks and utility connections in the street. Freedom Underground holds both the A and C36 licenses.

In California, contractors are classified into three main license categories:

  • Class A (General Engineering): Requires specialized engineering skills and allows contractors to work on public infrastructure projects.
  • Class B (General Building): Focuses on structures like homes and buildings that shelter people or property.
  • Class C (Specialty): Includes trade-specific licenses like the C36 Plumbing License, which permits contractors to perform tasks related to plumbing on private property.

At Freedom Underground, our dual expertise as both an A-Licensed General Engineering Contractor and a C36-licensed plumber sets us apart from other plumbers who only hold the C36.
