Becoming a licensed residential contractor in Minnesota requires more than just practical experience in construction. The state exam tests a wide range of knowledge, including building codes, construction techniques, business practices, safety regulations, and more. Our goal with this book is to provide you with a thorough understanding of these topics through carefully crafted practice questions that mirror the content of the exam.
In Minnesota, the residential building contractor/remodeler licensing program requires the business entity, not individual owners of a contracting business, to obtain a license. To achieve this, each company must designate one individual who will serve as the qualifying person. This person must pass a prelicensing exam administered by DLI. This product covers the building construction technical topics of the exam. Note that questions on Energy Code (Envelope Criteria) are especially MN specific (Air Barrier, Wind Wash Barrier, Vapor Retarder Minn, Insulation, Ventilation …etc.)
We create these self-practice test questions referencing the principles and concepts currently valid in the residential building profession. Each question comes with an answer and a short explanation which aids you in seeking further study information. For purpose of exam readiness drilling, this product includes questions that have varying numbers of choices. Some have 2 while some have 5 or 6. We want to make sure these questions are tough enough to really test your readiness and draw your focus to the weak areas. You should use this product together with other study resources for the best possible exam prep coverage.
