<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>My understanding is that as long
as a permit is pulled by the GC and appropriate trades, and as long as the
volunteers are not compensated in anyway, the volunteers are not required to be
licensed. I recently had the same question asked by one of the Gainesville
Rotary clubs. They wanted to have volunteers work on a project in
Gainesville. I contacted Jim Patton with DBPR and was informed that no
license is required if the volunteers are not compensated. Hope that helps.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>A church owner wants to use “volunteers<span
style='font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"'>�</span> from the
congregation to do much of the labor on a renovation. A GC will be paid
to pull permits and actually supervise and direct the work (not just pull
permits and disappear.) GC is concerned about liability for these
volunteers if they are injured on the job and would like to address it as much
as possible contractually and/or with waivers/releases signed by the
volunteers. <o:p></o:p></p>
