Green Card, contractor registration, machinery certificates — deadlines three years out, watched from today
The deadlines that trip up construction are the ones that only come around every few years. A Green Card lasts three years and renewal courses open only in the final six months; expired over three months means retaking the whole course. Registrations, insurance, certificates — each on its own clock.
