Pulling permits in Oregon: the license you actually need
Oregon won't let you sign a kitchen remodeling contract without a CCB Residential General Contractor License, issued by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Subbing under a licensed GC is one workaround, but on direct-to-owner jobs the homeowner can void the contract if you don't hold the card.

Stuff Eugene kitchen remodelers ask before they sign up
Does this respect OR code, or do I have to re-cut every quantity?
The takeoff doesn't pull a permit for you — that's still on whoever holds the CCB Residential General Contractor License — but the assemblies match what OR inspectors look for.
How do you handle measuring cabinet runs and configurations?
The model reads the plan once, counts symbols against your assembly library, and surfaces the count for review. You override anything that looks off before it hits the quote. For education work in Eugene, the typical correction is one or two assemblies — not redoing the whole thing.
What about site conditions?
Build the local condition into your assembly defaults once, and it carries forward to every Eugene bid afterward.
