The examination provides a way for qualifying contractors to satisfy an accepted commercial trade-examination requirement while still completing Virginia's state-specific licensing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NASCLA examination covers broad commercial construction knowledge, including planning and estimating, project management, construction safety, site construction, concrete, masonry, metals, wood construction, thermal and moisture protection, doors and glazing, finishes, and other commercial building subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia also has separate business examination requirements for Class A and Class B contractor firms.
