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
Well under the $875 to $1,998 sets
Other schools bundle books at a steep markup. This is the plain, correct set at a fair price — no padding.
Order the set
Books are sourced to order, so they ship once I confirm the correct editions for your exam. Then grab the guide that shows you where to mark them.
Stop guessing
Walk into that testing center knowing exactly what the day looks like.
Start with Business and Finance — the part that fails the most people — or take the free practice exam and see where you stand. Either way, you'll have done the real thing, on the clock, before it counts.
