Who Is This For
Experienced Builders Without Florida GC License: You have the skills and clients, want to become licensed, and need verified project experience.
Out-of-State Licensed Contractors: You're licensed elsewhere and need a Florida-licensed GC partner for an upcoming project.
Established Businesses That Lost Their Qualifier: A change in ownership or personnel left your company without a GC license.
Specialty Trade Contractors: You've built a successful specialty trade business and are aiming to expand into GC work.
Not All GC Partnerships Are the Same
Here's the difference between a Qualifying Agent and GC Launchpad.
Traditional Qualifying Agent
Monthly fees — even when you have no active projects
Requires W-2 employment or giving up equity
Passive license access with no oversight trail
No documented path toward licensure
Ongoing dependency on a qualifier
Finding and qualifying an agent can take months
GC Launchpad
Project-based pricing — pay only when active
No W-2 employment or equity requirement — project-based engagement only
Structured, documented oversight
Every project builds verified, DBPR-ready experience
Built to move you toward your own license
Operational quickly after approval

Project Review
Submit project details for review by the licensed GC, including scope, budget, timeline, and required trades.
Project Execution
