Completing NASCLA does not automatically create a Louisiana contractor license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NASCLA commercial building examination addresses a wide range of construction topics. The included references cover general requirements, project management, jobsite operations, site construction, concrete, masonry, reinforcing steel, structural steel, precast concrete, post-tensioning, wood construction, roofing, gypsum systems, accessibility, safety, mechanical systems, electrical systems, stormwater controls, procurement, and contracting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCandidates apply for the NASCLA examination and receive authorization before scheduling.
