How to pass the Florida Contract Admin exam

  • You get about 4.5 minutes per question. Estimating problems are where that time goes.
  • Learn what each AIA document is by number. Many questions just ask which form to use.
  • Do takeoff math twice. Unit conversions (sq ft to sq yd, cu ft to cu yd) are the classic trap.

2. Which AIA document is the standard agreement between owner and contractor on a stipulated sum basis?
Answer: A101. A101 is Owner-Contractor stipulated sum. A102 is cost plus a fee with a GMP. A401 is Contractor-Subcontractor. B101 is Owner-Architect.
3. AIA G702 and G703 are used for:
Answer: Application and certificate for payment with continuation sheet. G702 is the Application and Certificate for Payment. G703 is the continuation sheet showing the schedule of values.
4. Under A201, a written order prepared by the architect and signed by the owner and architect directing a change before the parties agree on cost or time is a:
Answer: Construction change directive. A201 §7.3: a construction change directive can be issued without the contractor's agreement on price or time adjustment.
5. Under AIA A201-2017, a claim must be initiated within how many days after the occurrence giving rise to it (or after the claimant first recognizes the condition)?
Answer: 21 days. A201-2017 §15.1.2 requires claims within 21 days.
6. Drawings, diagrams and schedules prepared by the contractor or a supplier to illustrate some portion of the work are called:

9. A CMU wall is 100 feet long and 8 feet high. Using 1.125 blocks per square foot, how many 8 × 8 × 16 blocks are needed (no waste)?
Answer: 900. 100 × 8 = 800 sq ft. 800 × 1.125 = 900 blocks. (Each 8 × 16 face is 0.889 sq ft, which gives 1.125 per sq ft.)
10. How many square yards of carpet are needed for a 18 ft × 24 ft room (no waste)?
Answer: 48 SY. 18 × 24 = 432 sq ft. 432 ÷ 9 = 48 square yards.
11. A footing is 2 ft wide, 1 ft deep and 180 ft long. How many cubic yards of concrete are required?
Answer: 13.3 CY. 2 × 1 × 180 = 360 cubic feet. 360 ÷ 27 = 13.33 cubic yards.
12. A contract clause setting a fixed daily amount the contractor pays the owner for late completion is called:
Answer: Liquidated damages. Liquidated damages are a pre-agreed estimate of the owner's losses per day of delay, used instead of proving actual damages.

Licensing guide

How to Get a Contractor License in Florida (2026): To get a statewide Florida contractor license, you prove 4 years of experience (or a mix of college and experience), pass the state exams, and apply to the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) through DBPR with a credit report, insurance, workers' comp and fingerprints. General, building and residential contractors (Division I) must pass three open-book exams: Business and Finance, Contract Administration and Project Management. Expect the full process to take a few months once your experience is in place.
