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

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. 234
