Florida Contractors Manual, 2025 edition
Required for Business and Finance since February 2026. Florida Statutes 455 and 489 are reprinted inside it — you don't buy those separately.
Reference books
The exam is open-book. Bring the right ones.
Business and Finance lets you bring your reference books — but only the correct 2025 editions, and only if you can find the answer fast. Here's the exact set, sourced and shipped so you're not hunting down editions the week before your test.
Builder's Guide to Accounting
Where the job-cost math, payroll, and financial-statement questions come from. The section that takes most first-timers down.
AIA documents A201, A401, and A701
The contract documents the exam pulls from. Original editions only — no photocopies allowed in the test center.
That's the Business and Finance set. You do not need to buy Florida Statutes 455 or 489 separately — their full text is already inside the Contractors Manual. If you want the full rundown first, here's what books you need for the Florida GC exam.
Correct editions
The wrong edition is the expensive mistake
The 2025 Florida Contractors Manual is the one Business and Finance requires now. Show up with last year's copy and the page numbers don't match the exam. I send the editions that are actually allowed.
One order
Five books, one checkout
Tracking these down from three different sellers is a weekend you don't get back. Order the set once and I source the right copies and ship them.
The price
$399 for all five books, shipped
Other schools bundle books into $875 to $1,998 packages. This is the plain, correct set at a fair price — no padding, no markup for tabs you can add yourself.
Order the set
$399
This is a pre-order. I source the books after you order — that's how I make sure you get the editions the state actually allows in the room. Your set ships within 10 business days and you get tracking by email. If I can't get every book in the correct edition, I email you and refund you in full.
Then grab the guide that shows you where to mark them.
