Great reference!
This book is very helpful. It provides more than enough knowledge to pass the exams. Illustrations and standards are very helpful. I like this and recommended it to other friends aspiring to be a contractor.

Nice to bone up on certification tests
I actually used this to bone up for state government building inspection tests. While it doesn’t cover detailed local specifics, it is very handy for general knowledge and for identifying improper designs and recognizing building code violations. It was very handy as one who had little to no knowledge in this field. Though, more specific information will be needed depending on the municipality/state you are in.

Helps me focus for the real test
I am planning of taking the contractors exam within the next year, and this is very useful to get to practice for the tests. I know there is a lot of information free online; however, this is very concise and shows you just what is needed without all the fluff.
