<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hey Rob D.</span></p>
<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></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A church owner wants to use “volunteers� 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.
