Mechanical Subcontractors in Florida

Yes. Mechanical contracting is regulated statewide by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR. A certified (CMC) license works anywhere in Florida; a registered (RM) license is limited to the jurisdiction that issued it.

The mechanical license is broader. It covers HVAC plus process piping, commercial refrigeration, industrial mechanical equipment, and fuel piping. An HVAC-only contractor holds the air conditioning license, which is scoped to heating and air conditioning systems.

The mechanical drawing set and Division 23 spec section, a scope inclusion and exclusion list (HVAC equipment, ductwork, process piping, refrigeration, controls, test-and-balance), any long-lead equipment, the bid deadline, and whether a site visit is required.

Yes. GCs post an RFQ and invite matched subs by trade and service area; invited subs are notified and can submit a bid for your bid prep.

Listings are seeded from public Florida DBPR license data, and a sub can claim its listing and upload a credential for a one-time review. The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a mechanical sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
