This package is designed for candidates pursuing the North Carolina Highway Contractor classification who need the approved exam-room references without the additional books used only for study outside the testing center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe North Carolina Highway Contractor Exam covers a wide range of construction subjects, including asphalt paving, excavation, grading, concrete, piles, sports fields, traffic control, safety, equipment, project planning, business law, coastal development, and roadway construction specifications. Because the examination spans several construction disciplines, candidates need an organized set of references and a practical plan for locating information efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis package includes \u003cem\u003eSports Fields Design, Construction and Maintenance, Second Edition, 2010\u003c\/em\u003e; the \u003cem\u003eContractor’s Guide to Business, Law and Project Management – North Carolina General Contractors Edition, 10th Edition\u003c\/em\u003e; the \u003cem\u003eNorth Carolina Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures, 2018\u003c\/em\u003e; the \u003cem\u003eNorth Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry\u003c\/em\u003e with the latest available amendments; \u003cem\u003eConstruction Planning, Equipment, and Methods, 10th Edition\u003c\/em\u003e; and the \u003cem\u003eCAMA Handbook for Development of Coastal North Carolina\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach reference supports a different part of the examination. The sports-field book addresses athletic-field construction and maintenance. The Contractor’s Guide supports business, law, estimating, contracts, project management, and North Carolina contractor responsibilities. The standard specifications address roadway and structure construction. The occupational safety standards cover workplace hazards and employee protection. The construction planning book addresses equipment, productivity, excavation, hauling, concrete operations, piles, and construction methods. The CAMA handbook addresses coastal development and regulated coastal areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudying with the same books intended for exam-room use helps candidates build familiarity with each publication’s layout, terminology, chapter structure, tables, specifications, indexes, and cross-references. That familiarity is valuable because an open-book exam still requires fast decisions.
