Since the appearance of the First Edition in 1971, the need for this book has increased
tremendously. Many thousands of candidates have applied for contractor licenses in the
construction industry as more states and municipalities have written contracting license
examinations into their law books. Contractor licensing has itself become a "growth
industry." Many colleges and universities now offer degrees in building and
construction science. License fees and renewal fees have become a continuing source of
revenue. In some states, continuing education credits are required for licensed
contractors. |
