Global Modular Inc has held a CSLB class-B (General Building) licence for 22 years (since 2004). Long-tenured contractor by California standards — most ADU specialist firms are post-2017 entrants drawn into the market by SB 1069 and AB 2299.

Contractor's bond posted: $25,000 — the California statutory minimum for class-B contractors. Standard for the industry.

What a CSLB class-B licence covers

A California class-B (General Building) contractor licence authorises the holder to take on building projects requiring at least two unrelated trades — framing + electrical, or concrete + plumbing + framing, etc. Almost all ADU work qualifies because an ADU is by definition a complete dwelling and requires multiple trades. A single-trade contractor (class C-10 electrical, C-36 plumbing, etc.) cannot prime an ADU project as general; they must subcontract under a B-licensed prime, or the homeowner must act as their own owner-builder.

This is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. ADU construction has specific code requirements (Title 24 energy compliance, fire sprinklers in most jurisdictions, soils reports on sloped lots, accessibility provisions for JADUs) that not every B-licensed contractor has experience with. Ask for at least three completed ADU project references before committing.
