Utah is a participating jurisdiction through the Utah Division of Professional Licensing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe examination is designed to evaluate knowledge used to plan, supervise, coordinate, and complete commercial building projects involving multiple construction trades. Its broad scope reflects the responsibilities of a commercial general building contractor rather than a contractor working in one specialty area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listed references address project management, jobsite operations, estimating, scheduling, contracts, safety, structural concrete, reinforcing steel, precast construction, post-tensioning, steel decking, steel joists, wood trusses, masonry, excavation, carpentry, roofing, accessibility, building codes, environmental controls, exterior systems, and mechanical and electrical coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction Jobsite Management and Construction Project Management support preparation involving field supervision, project organization, communication, scheduling, documentation, cost control, quality management, risk, 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. These references address structural concrete requirements, reinforcing-bar placement, field procedures, consolidation, finishing, curing, testing, durability, inspection, and quality control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialty structural references cover precast concrete erection, unbonded post-tensioning, steel deck installation, steel joist handling, and metal plate connected wood-truss restraint and bracing. Other books address masonry, gypsum systems, excavation, carpentry, roofing, accessibility, stormwater planning, exterior insulation and finish systems, and building-service coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtah accepts a passing NASCLA Commercial General Building Contractor examination result as part of its contractor licensing framework. The examination result may also be used by other participating jurisdictions that accept the NASCLA examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter passing the examination, candidates may use the NASCLA National Examination Database to send an official transcript to Utah or another participating licensing agency. The agency pairs the transcript with the candidate’s contractor license application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA passing NASCLA result does not independently issue a Utah contractor license.

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. Federal 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\u003eCandidates should practice using the listed editions because code provisions, page numbers, technical requirements, illustrations, and publication organization may differ between editions. Working directly with the correct books helps build familiarity before examination day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books brought into the testing room must comply with current examination rules.
