Hiring Commercial Property Services Providers in Georgia

Commercial real estate services in Georgia require alignment with the State Licensing Board: any commercial job over $2 million or involving multiple trades needs a Commercial General Contractor license, while specialty credentials cover Conditioned Air, Electrical, and Master Plumbing. Soft-service vendors must still pass muster: security patrols need licenses from the State Board of Private Detectives & Security Agencies, and pesticide applicators register with the Department of Agriculture. Demand $2 million general liability for trades, $1 million for janitorial or landscaping, statutory workers’ comp, and E&O for architects or sustainability consultants. Ensure contractors can pull permits through local departments—Atlanta, Savannah, or Augusta—and understand EPD erosion-control, asbestos, and storm-water mandates. Favor teams with documented success on similar assets—mid-rise multifamily, logistics hubs along I-75, or medical offices—and always call local references before signing.
