Then, fill out your application and send it to the State of Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services Safety and Buildings Division. Continuing education is also important for Wisconsin contractors. Within every two-year period, you need to do a 12-hour Continued Education Course. If you don’t have it done 90 days before your certification expires, you’ll have to pay penalties. Wisconsin makes renewing easy for you.

The soil in Wisconsin is mostly a silt loam combination. It drains well, but because silt is so fine, it erodes easily. Be careful as the silt at your construction site dries. Dry silt gets picked up by the wind, so look at the weather each day before you start. Many excavators and boom lifts have four-wheel-drive, perfect for working in silt conditions. Get machinery with stabilizers and supports once it’s parked, to give yourself a firm spot to work from. Renting your Wisconsin construction equipment is the way to go.
