About This Book
The Florida Contractors Manual is an official reference guide approved by the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) for operating a construction business and passing state licensing exams.
What It Covers - Business & Finance: Financial management, daily accounting, and budgeting - Legal & Regulations: Florida lien laws, state statutes (including Chapter 455), and labor laws - Safety & Compliance: OSHA standards, EPA rules, and workers' compensation requirements - Operations: Licensing guidelines, contract administration, and project management
Exam Use
The manual serves as a primary approved reference during open-book state exams, including the Business & Finance portion required for General (CGC), Building (CBC), and Residential (CRC) contractor licenses. Because the exam is timed and content-heavy, many candidates purchase editions with pre-printed tabs and highlights for quick navigation. Official test requirements are available through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
