In Tennessee, it is the TENNESSEE BOARD FOR LICENSING CONTRACTORS that handles licensing matters. A contractor license must be acquired first whenever the total contract amount is $25,000 or more, inclusive of materials, labor, and profits, by the general contractor. Construction Managers are also required to have a contractor's license for projects costing $25,000 or more. Keep in mind, a contractor exceeding the monetary limit designated on his license by more than 10% will not have the right to secure a lien (this applies to both commercial and residential projects). The exam covers a wide range of fundamental topics but this study notes focuses on topics related to the various structural elements and safety issues only. There is no way you can pass the exam without having solid real world experience. Our notes give you knowledge, principles and concepts. To master the topics, you must be "in the field" - you need to participate in real world projects. And you need to know how the experts get things done. To succeed in the exam, you also need to read as many reference books as possible. There is no single book that can cover everything! This ExamFOCUS book focuses on the more difficult topics that will likely make a difference in exam results. The book is NOT intended to guide you through every single official topic.
