Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Utah general contractor exam cover?
The Prov examination handbook publishes exact item counts for eleven subjects across the 60-question Utah Contractor Business and Law exam: Licensing 10, Estimating and Bidding 6, Contract Management 6, Labor Laws 6, Financial Management 6, Project Management 5, Risk Management 5, Tax Laws 5, Business Organization 4, Safety 4, and Lien Laws 3.
What is the format and passing score for the UT GC exam?
The exam has 60 multiple-choice questions administered by Prov, Inc. Candidates get 2 hours and must reach a cut score of 70%, which is 42 correct answers. The exam is open book and costs $85 each time it is taken, whether it is a first attempt or a retake.
Does Utah require a trade exam for general building contractors?
No. Utah Code § 58-55-302(1)(c)(ii) states that the Business and Law examination is the only division-administered examination required for B100 General Building, R100 Residential and Small Commercial, or E100 General Engineering licensure. Among the general classifications only H100 HVAC carries a separate written trade exam.
What pre-licensure education is required in Utah?
Utah Code § 58-55-302(1)(e)(iii) requires a 25-hour prelicensure course from a DOPL-approved provider, and § 58-55-302(1)(e)(iv) adds a separate 5-hour Business and Law course for general and primary classifications. A Construction Management degree, an active Utah professional engineer license, current qualifier status on an active Utah contractor license, or licensure by endorsement can satisfy the requirement instead.
What is the Utah State Construction Registry (SCR)?
The SCR is Utah's centralized electronic filing system for construction notices, created by Utah Code § 38-1a-201 inside Title 38, Chapter 1a. A claimant who does not contract directly with the owner must file a preliminary notice within 20 days of commencing construction work to preserve lien rights back to the first day of work. Title 38, Chapter 1b applies the parallel rules to government projects.
How can I retake the Utah Business and Law exam if I fail?
Prov requires a 30-day wait before retaking a failed exam. After three failed attempts the wait increases to 180 days before each subsequent attempt, and the $85 fee applies to every attempt.
