2. Legal Name Change

3. List of all supervised Modular Building Manufacturers:

4. List of all plan reviewers and inspectors:
   • For Approved Inspection Agencies, you must submit a list of all plan reviewers and inspectors, to include the construction-oriented registered professional engineer and/or architect on staff, responsible for ensuring compliance with the Program’s regulations. If there has been any change in the qualified personnel since the last renewal (or if this is the entity’s first renewal since the initial application), you must submit proof that all such new personnel performing plan review or inspections are certified by a testing agency recognized by the Council, and provide a statement setting forth their education and qualifications.

5. Explanatory Statement of “Yes” Answers
   • If you answered “yes” to any of the background history questions on the renewal application, you must complete the paper renewal application and submit it with the Explanatory Statement of "Yes" Answers and any supporting documentation (i.e. board order).

What do I do if I am kicked out of the online renewal because of an answer given in error?

If you mistakenly answered a question in the online renewal platform that resulted in you being unable to complete the application online, send an email to contact.bcc@llr.sc.gov and request that the online renewal application be reset. You must include your name, or company name if the license belongs to an entity, license number, the question that was answered in error, and the reason for the incorrect answer. If you are completing the online renewal for the Modular Manufacturer license and you are not the individual whose email address is on the license file, you must include the last five digits of the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for the manufacturer as verification.

I renewed by Modular Manufacturer or Manufacturer’s Representative license, but haven’t received it in the mail. What should I do?

First, verify that both the Modular Manufacturer and Manufacturers Representative licenses have been renewed. If both licenses have not been renewed, then the renewal application(s) are considered incomplete, and the license for one will not be mailed without the other.

If both license renewals have been completed and you have not received your licenses by mail within 15 business days of completing both renewal applications, please contact the Council at contact.bcc@llr.sc.gov with your license number(s) and the date of renewal application. Include the correct mailing address in your email so that Council staff can verify it before sending an additional copy of the license(s), if warranted.
