Construction Business License
Construction business licenses are public certifications granted by national and prefectural governments to contractors who meet specific standards after review of their technical capabilities, financial foundation, and compliance systems.
Without this license, contractors cannot undertake projects valued at 5 million yen or more.
In terms of overseas systems, it corresponds to the U.S. “General Contractor License” or the UK’s “CHAS/NICEIC,” serving as a mark of trustworthiness.
For owners residing overseas, the presence or absence of this license provides a clear and straightforward criterion for selecting contractors.
“Designated Waterworks Contractor”
“Registered Electrical Contractor”
“Industrial Waste Collection and Transportation Business”
The Strength of a Business Holding Three Licenses
Eliminating Customer Hassle and Anxiety
“One-Stop Service”
Typically, for renovations or construction projects, you need to hire separate specialists for plumbing, electrical work, and waste disposal generated during construction.
Customers must endure the cumbersome process of finding multiple contractors, signing individual contracts, and coordinating each phase.
High reliability that demonstrates technical capability and compliance with laws and regulations
Designated Waterworks Contractor: This certification confirms that the contractor possesses the technical skills and knowledge recognized by the municipal waterworks bureau to perform work properly. They can handle work that only designated contractors can perform, such as connecting water supply pipes.
Registered Electrical Contractor: This certification, based on the Electrical Workers Act, proves the business employs qualified personnel who perform installations in compliance with safety standards. It prevents hazards like electrical leakage and ensures reliable workmanship.
Industrial Waste Collection and Transportation Business: This permit authorizes the proper disposal of waste generated during construction projects in accordance with the law. It eliminates concerns about illegal dumping and enables environmentally conscious, clean construction practices.
Why It Matters
In Japan, a construction business license is required for renovations costing 5 million yen or more.
Hiring unlicensed contractors constitutes illegal construction work, posing a risk of future disputes.
Furthermore, the multi-layered structure of real estate brokerage → subcontracted construction often leads to increased costs and miscommunication.
By contracting directly with us, you can simultaneously achieve transparent pricing, high construction quality, and smooth multilingual support.
