Building contractors need to be registered with the Wisconsin Dept. of Commerce! As of July 1, 2009, construction businesses working under these Wisconsin codes - commercial building, uniform dwelling, electrical, plumbing, and swimming pool - need a Building Contractor Registration issued by the state Dept. of Commerce, Safety and Buildings Division, unless the company already holds a contractor credential issued by the division. The registration is for businesses, including one-person businesses, not for individual employees. The registration will help identify whether the construction work is being done by an employee or a business. The registration will support maximum participation in unemployment and workers compensation insurance programs, and proper payment of taxes. The registration also helps S&B provide code information to contractors.

BUILDING A NEW HOME OR REMODELING THE ONE YOU HAVE? Use this checklist to help you select a builder or remodeler to work on or build your home. • Does the builder or remodeler have a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers? • How long have they been in the building business? It usually takes three to five years to establish a financially sound business. Will they be around after the construction is complete to service any warranties? • Have you called your local Home Builders Association or Better Business Bureau? They can alert you to any complaints. • Does the builder/remodeler have sufficient workers compensation and general liability insurance? If not, you may be liable for any construction-related accidents on your premises. • Will the builder/remodeler provide you with names of previous customers? Ask them if they would hire the builder/remodeler again. Check out the contractor’s work for yourself . • Have you seen the builder/remodelers

work, both completed and in progress? Check for quality of workmanship and materials. • Are you able to communicate with the builder/remodeler? Remember you will be in close contact with them throughout the construction process and afterward as you live in your new home. • Will the builder/remodeler provide you with a complete and clearly written contract? The contract will benefit both of you. Review it carefully. If you have questions or don’t understand something, ask before you sign. • Be cautious of unusually low-priced bids. If the builder/remodeler is unable to pay for the materials and labor as the project proceeds, this may indicate a potential problem. Be sure to get more than one quote and question the differences. • Always ask for the contractor’s state assigned Certification number and/or Registration number. Contractors must have these to pull permits. Never pull a permit for the contractor.
