Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A PCAB-licensed contractor undertakes only construction activities within that licensing coverage. Under DC 01 s. 2017, is separate DO 174 registration generally required for that construction operation?
  1. Yes, because PCAB licensing is irrelevant.
  2. No, and it is also exempt from wages and safety rules.
  3. No; the Circular applies the construction regulatory framework without requiring DO 174 registration for that covered operation.
  4. Yes, unless its workers waive registration.
  5. Only if it builds a government office.
