You’ll also receive the required Alabama business exam reference, \u003cstrong\u003eNASCLA Alabama, 3rd Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a \u003cstrong\u003eHighlighted and Tabbed\u003c\/strong\u003e format to help you locate answers faster during timed testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSitework is where projects begin—and it’s where problems can get expensive fast. The exam reflects that reality by testing jobsite decisions that a contractor is expected to understand: safe excavation practices, correct handling of pipe and excavation activities, understanding how work sequencing impacts project outcomes, and recognizing code-related issues that tie into construction requirements. Because the exam is open book, you don’t need to memorize every detail. You do need to be able to find the correct information quickly, confirm what the question is asking, and apply it accurately without losing time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis package is a smart option if you want to rent your references instead of purchasing a larger library. The included books support the areas most likely to matter for a Sitework Contractor trade exam: OSHA construction safety standards (with major relevance to excavation and jobsite hazards), a pipe and excavation reference for trade method questions, and the International Building Code (2021) for code-driven decisions. Pair that with course access and the NASCLA Alabama business book, and you have a complete preparation setup that supports both the trade and business sides of Alabama contractor testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 18px; margin: 18px 0; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRental Book Set\u003c\/strong\u003e for the Alabama Sitework Contractor trade exam references\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBusiness \u0026amp; Project Management Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e NASCLA Alabama, 3rd Edition (Highlighted and Tabbed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourse Access:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 months of course access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003ePricing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRental Cost:\u003c\/strong\u003e $870\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefundable Book Deposit:\u003c\/strong\u003e $250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Package Price:\u003c\/strong\u003e $1,120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe refundable deposit helps protect the rental inventory and is intended to be returned based on the rental return terms for your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eExam Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlabama contractor examinations are administered through PSI for the State Licensing Board for General Contractors.
