SC General Contractor case studies
SC General Contractor · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The South Carolina Contractor's Licensing Board, a unit of the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR), regulates the license, certification or registration of general and mechanical contractors, construction managers, burglar alarm and fire alarm contractors, fire sprinkler contractors, and the boiler safety program. The General Contractor credential is aimed at individuals and firms that contract to build, alter or repair structures for others, and it requires applicants to show both trade knowledge and business competence before the Board. The examination is a multiple-choice test sampling five areas: business and project management; contract administration and bidding; estimating and plan reading; construction methods, materials, and site work; and safety, codes, and regulatory compliance. Expect arithmetic-heavy items in the estimating portion, scenario items in contract administration, and code-referenced items in the safety portion. The SC General Contractor case studies are 5 cases and about 3,821 words.
