Course content supports review of project management, jobsite supervision, structural concrete, reinforcing steel, precast erection, post-tensioning, steel decking, steel joists, wood trusses, excavation, masonry, gypsum systems, carpentry, roofing, accessibility, construction safety, commercial building codes, stormwater planning, exterior insulation systems, sustainable construction, and mechanical and electrical coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NASCLA examination is open book, but candidates still need a strong understanding of commercial construction and a practical method for using the approved references. The examination library contains textbooks, codes, standards, manuals, and specialty technical guides.

It evaluates knowledge involved in planning, supervising, coordinating, and completing commercial building projects that include multiple construction trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe examination has a broader scope than a single-trade test. Candidates should be prepared to review project management, jobsite operations, estimating, scheduling, contracts, structural systems, safety, accessibility, building codes, site construction, exterior systems, finishes, and building-service coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction Jobsite Management and Construction Project Management support preparation involving field supervision, project organization, communication, documentation, scheduling, estimating, cost control, quality management, risk, safety, and project closeout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConcrete subjects are represented by ACI 318-19, Placing Reinforcing Bars, and The Contractor’s Guide to Quality Concrete Construction. Together, these references address structural concrete requirements, reinforcement, placement, consolidation, finishing, curing, testing, durability, inspection, and quality control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialty structural references address precast concrete erection, unbonded post-tensioning, steel deck installation, steel joist handling, and metal plate connected wood-truss restraint and bracing. Candidates may also encounter subjects involving excavation, masonry, carpentry, gypsum construction, roofing, accessibility, stormwater controls, exterior insulation systems, and mechanical and electrical coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe International Building Code supports review of commercial building requirements involving occupancy, construction types, fire protection, means of egress, accessibility, structural provisions, and coordinated building systems. ICC A117.1 provides technical criteria for accessible and usable buildings and facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFederal construction-safety material is addressed through 29 CFR Part 1926. Candidates may use this reference when reviewing fall protection, excavation, scaffolding, electrical safety, equipment, personal protective measures, and other construction-site requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia contractor licenses are divided into Class A, Class B, and Class C. The class determines the level of contracting activity permitted under the license, while the classification or specialty identifies the type of construction work the business is authorized to perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Virginia Commercial Building Contractor classification applies to qualifying commercial, industrial, institutional, governmental, and related building work. Applicants should select the license class and classification that correspond with the business’s intended contracting activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassing the NASCLA examination does not complete the entire Virginia licensing process. The contractor business must satisfy the applicable requirements of the Virginia Board for Contractors, including the requirements related to responsible management, pre-license education, business examinations, the designated employee, the qualified individual, experience, financial responsibility, and the license application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eOpen Book Test\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NASCLA Accredited Examination for Commercial General Building Contractors is an open-book test.

The reference library contains thousands of pages, and searching every book for every question is not an effective testing strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA productive reference-navigation process begins by identifying the primary subject of the question. The candidate should then select the publication most likely to contain the answer and use the index, table of contents, chapter headings, definitions, diagrams, code provisions, or technical tables to find the relevant information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStructural concrete questions may require ACI 318-19, while reinforcing-bar placement questions may involve Placing Reinforcing Bars. Concrete field-practice questions involving preparation, placement, consolidation, finishing, curing, testing, or quality control may be addressed in The Contractor’s Guide to Quality Concrete Construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel-deck questions may require the SDI Manual of Construction with Steel Deck. Questions involving steel joists and joist girders may require Technical Digest No. 9, while wood-truss handling, installation, restraint, and bracing questions may involve the BCSI guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecast concrete erection questions may be addressed in the Erectors’ Manual. Unbonded post-tensioning questions may require the Level 1 Field Fundamentals publication. Masonry questions may involve Modern Masonry, while excavation and underground utility questions may require Pipe and Excavation Contracting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessibility questions may involve ICC A117.1, while broader commercial building-code questions may require the International Building Code. Construction-safety questions may require 29 CFR Part 1926, and stormwater-planning questions may involve Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe course helps candidates practice making these connections before examination day.

Those business requirements are separate from the UUC technical examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the applicable education, experience, examination, business, financial, and application requirements are satisfied, the contractor submits the licensing materials to the Virginia Board for Contractors for review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eState Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia defines \u003cstrong\u003eUnderground Utility and Excavating Contracting (UUC)\u003c\/strong\u003e as work involving construction, repair, improvement, or removal of main sanitary sewer collection systems, main water distribution systems, storm sewer collection systems, and related underground utility installations within the authorized specialty scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe specialty also covers continuation of utility lines from main systems to specified termination points associated with individual occupancies and properties. The exact scope is defined through the Virginia Board for Contractors regulations governing the UUC specialty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderground utility contractors must also comply with Virginia's damage-prevention requirements when excavating around underground facilities. Virginia's Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act establishes responsibilities involving notification, locating, marking, excavation, and protection of underground utility lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia uses a Positive Response System to communicate the status of underground utility locate requests. Excavators are responsible for reviewing and heeding the positive response information before excavation begins. The system allows operators and locators to communicate whether facilities are marked, no conflict exists, additional action is required, or another condition applies to the locate request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia also maintains underground utility marking standards and professional excavator guidance through the State Corporation Commission Division of Utility and Railroad Safety. These materials support safe excavation practices and communication between excavators, utility operators, and locators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause damage prevention is central to underground utility work, candidates should treat Virginia-specific regulations and manuals as a major part of preparation rather than focusing only on pipe installation and excavation techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eReference Books\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCode of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis federal construction safety reference contains OSHA requirements applicable to excavation, trenching, heavy equipment, personal protective equipment, ladders, electrical hazards, material handling, and other construction activities common to underground utility work.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVA Positive Response Code\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Virginia-specific reference supports understanding of the Positive Response System used to communicate the marking status of utility locate requests.
