What we take on,
and what we don’t.

Revenant operates as a Limited GC in Phase 1: residential projects under $40,000. NC law requires an unlimited license at that threshold; we operate beneath it while we build the track record to earn the next tier. The work below is what fits — in plain English, with the price band where one is stable, and a clear note where it isn't.

Phase 1 of 2
§ 01 · Capabilities

Five things, done plainly.

Not five hundred. Phase 1 is small on purpose — the trades we sub out (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) always go to a licensed sub, regardless of project size.

§ 02  ·  The Phase 1 ceiling

We work under $40,000.
For now. On purpose.

Revenant currently operates as a Limited General Contractor. North Carolina law requires an unlimited GC license for any residential project at $40,000 or above; we operate under that threshold while we build the track record to earn the next license tier.

This is by design. A small Phase 1 means one project at a time, one project lead from demolition to punch list, and a price band the customer can verify before signing. The customer is hiring an honest small operator, not a marketing-led firm with five concurrent jobs and a junior PM running point.

We do not split a $60,000 kitchen into two contracts to dodge the threshold. NC law forbids it. We won't.

§ 03  ·  Specialty trades

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC
always go to a licensed sub.

Regardless of project size or threshold, the specialty trades — electrical, plumbing, HVAC — are subcontracted to licensed trades. We name the principle, not the subs; trades change, the principle does not.

On the proposal, every sub line appears with the trade, the scope, and the cost as billed. No marked-up trade lines, no “coordination fee” you cannot trace.

The rate card is public, or it will be.
