2004-Present

State of Massachusetts Construction Supervisors License

In Massachusetts, a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) is required for individuals overseeing construction projects. This license ensures that the individual is qualified to manage construction activities and is legally authorized to do so. The CSL is essential for protecting consumers, ensuring safety, and providing legal protections, such as lien rights, which protect contractors if a client refuses to pay. Additionally, a CSL demonstrates a contractor's credibility and expertise, making it more likely to attract higher-value clients and larger projects.
