Details:
The purpose of this Fifth Edition of the
Contractor's Exam Book: How to Pass the Examination For Master
Builder & General Contractor is to help candidates successfully
prepare for and pass the examination for Certified General, Builder,
and Residential Contractor.
Since the appearance of the First Edition in
1971, the need for this book has increased tremendously. Many
thousands of candidates have applied for contractor licenses in the
construction industry as more states and municipalities have written
contracting license examinations into their law books. Contractor
licensing has itself become a "growth industry." Many colleges and
universities now offer degrees in building and construction science.
License fees and renewal fees have become a continuing source of
revenue. In some states, continuing education credits are required
for licensed contractors.
