This course is designed to help candidates organize a broad range of building-construction topics into a focused study plan covering planning and estimating, framing, structural components, core trades, finish trades, and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe California B - General Building classification applies to contractors whose principal contracting business involves structures built for the support, shelter, and enclosure of persons, animals, property, or movable goods when the construction requires at least two unrelated building trades or crafts. Because the classification involves coordination across multiple trades, candidates need a broad understanding of building systems rather than knowledge of only one specialty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe online course supports preparation using topics associated with the \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Building Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Electrical Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Energy Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Fire Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Green Building Standards Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Mechanical Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Plumbing Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2025 California Residential Code\u003c\/strong\u003e, architectural woodwork standards, traffic-control materials, construction-method references, carpentry resources, and Cal\/OSHA safety publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe California General Building (B) trade examination is a \u003cstrong\u003eclosed-book exam\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Framing affects mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations. Roofing and weatherproofing affect the building envelope. Finish trades depend on the quality of structural and rough-in work.
