OK General Contractor study plan

Build a one-page map of the five project delivery methods (design-bid-build, CM at risk, design-build, agency CM, multiple prime) and match each to the contract type and risk allocation it implies.

Draft a CPM logic diagram for a 20-activity building shell schedule, then identify the critical path and total float on three non-critical chains.

List the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board licensing classes and the threshold rules that decide when a contractor must hold a state license versus work under local permits only.

Summarize the Oklahoma prompt-payment statute timeline (invoice, approval, payment, interest) in a dated flow you can reproduce from memory.

Produce a full quantity takeoff for a simple one-story office shell: excavation, footings, slab, masonry, framing, and drywall, with units and waste factors shown.

Convert the takeoff into a priced estimate with labor, material, equipment, overhead, and profit separated into distinct line groups.

Read a 12-sheet plan set and write a takeoff checklist that captures every dimension source (plan, section, detail, schedule) you used.

Explain how alternates, allowances, and unit prices are handled differently in a bid summary.

Map the OSHA Focus Four hazards to the specific 1926 subparts that govern them and the abatement each subpart requires.

Write a site-specific fall-protection and excavation safety plan for a project with a 12-foot cut and a two-story structural frame.

Calculate soil volume change using swell and shrinkage factors and apply the results to a cut-and-fill balance for a 100-foot by 200-foot pad.

Identify the OSHA excavation requirements for protective systems, spoil pile setback, access and egress, and daily competent-person inspection.

Assemble the Oklahoma lien process end to end: pre-lien notice, filing deadline, affidavit of lien, foreclosure window, and the owner's remedy to discharge a lien.

Distinguish lien rights for general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, and note where the preliminary notice requirement changes the analysis.

Build a jobsite environmental compliance checklist covering stormwater permits, erosion control, spill prevention, and waste disposal documentation.

Recite the recordkeeping and posting obligations that trigger OSHA citations most often on small commercial jobs.

Solve concrete mix design problems: water-cement ratio, yield, and adjusting a trial mix for field moisture in the aggregate.

Explain formwork pressure, shoring and reshoring sequence, and the cure-time rules that govern when forms and shores may be removed.

Compare structural steel, light-gage steel, and wood framing for a given span and loading condition, naming the failure mode each is designed to resist.

Detail masonry wall components: flashing, weep holes, movement joints, anchors, and the reinforcement lap requirements that tie them together.

Draw a wall section from footing to roof that correctly layers weather barrier, flashing, insulation, air barrier, and drainage plane, and label the water-shedding intent of each layer.

Specify window and door performance requirements (U-factor, SHGC, DP rating, fire rating) for three different occupancies and justify each choice.

Coordinate a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing clash set: identify sleeve locations, ceiling plenum conflicts, and clearance requirements for equipment service access.

Explain how BIM coordination and the submittal process sequence with structural and architectural work to prevent rework.

Complete a timed 40-question mixed-domain practice set and log every wrong answer by domain and root cause (misread, knowledge gap, calculation error).

Re-derive the three formulas you missed most often until you can write them from memory without notes.

Draft a change-order package for a scope change: pricing, time impact, schedule revision, and the contract clause that authorizes it.

Review the plan-reading conventions you got wrong on the practice set and rebuild the affected takeoff items.

Retake a full-length timed practice exam under exam conditions and score it against your target passing margin.

Review only the error log and formula sheet, not new material, in the final three days.

Recite the Oklahoma licensing thresholds, lien deadlines, and OSHA Focus Four controls aloud without reference.

Finalize exam-day logistics: identification, scheduling confirmation, calculator policy, and a break plan.
