California Licensed Contractors Look to 'Green' Building

It's no secret that green building materials are gaining in popularity these days and savvy California licensed contractors are making sure their crews understand the new market.

A recent article in the San Diego Business Journal highlights the increasing demand for projects that require green building know-how. And one way that licensed contractors in California can take advantage of this market is to have their crews certified in the standards of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which employ standards created by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The articles quotes Jay Leopold, regional manager for DPR Construction Inc, Redwood City, Calif.: "We see it as an intelligent approach to design and construction," says Leopold. "You could just tell (green construction) had traction and just wasn’t going to be a fad. It just kept picking up in exponential fashion."

People interested in getting their California contractor license and entering the green building market should make sure they take a contractor license course that will prepare them to pass the state exam. A quality, online California state exam preparation package will prepare you to do your best.

When looking into an online licensed contractor course, ask the school if it provides live student support, a money-back promise as well as other features, like a contractor bond discount to help you get started in the field.
