Register Construction & Engineering, Inc.

What this record tells you

Register Construction & Engineering, Inc. holds Florida licence CGC1522253, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2014, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 55% of the 383 active general contracting licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 12 years of continuous licensure.

Register Construction & Engineering, Inc. is one of 190 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Lakeland, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Clay Joseph Gard additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
