Students can focus their review on construction stormwater management, New Mexico highway specifications, pipe and excavation practices, One Call excavation guidance, IBC 2021, OSHA construction safety, business preparation materials, and open-book exam strategy while also receiving business setup support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBusiness Formation support helps establish the customer’s LLC or Corporation so the business is legally structured and ready to operate as a core contractor in New Mexico. EIN Filing helps obtain the Employer Identification Number needed to open business bank accounts, manage taxes properly, hire employees, and operate the contracting business professionally. Contractor Compliance Guidance helps customers understand compliance requirements necessary for New Mexico contractors so the business is positioned for long-term success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1 Exam Prep’s approach is practical and exam-oriented. The goal is to help candidates reduce confusion, organize their study routine, and build confidence through repeated reference navigation and trade-focused review. Candidates still need to study consistently and understand the material, but having rental references, course access, business books, Application Service, and business setup support together can make the preparation process more manageable and focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany GF candidates have construction, excavation, sitework, pipe installation, stormwater, safety, code, specification, or field experience but are less familiar with moving through multiple references under exam pressure. 1 Exam Prep helps support that transition by encouraging reference familiarity, organized study habits, practice-oriented preparation, and a clearer plan for exam-day book navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eWhat is included in The 1 Package?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis package includes rental access to Storm Water Management for Construction Activities, 1992; New Mexico Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction, 2019; Pipe and Excavation Contracting; New Mexico One Call Excavator Handbook; International Building Code, 2021; and Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA).
