PE Civil: Construction Depth Exam Prep

Prepare for the NCEES PE Civil: Construction Depth exam with a complete,
practice-driven study system built around the way the exam is actually
structured and scored.

This book moves beyond long narrative lessons and puts problem-solving
first: fifteen instructional chapters covering earthwork, equipment
productivity, scheduling and CPM, cost estimating, concrete and asphalt
materials, formwork and shoring, steel erection, OSHA safety, contracts,
quality control, and temporary works — each built around worked, exam-style
problems with full step-by-step solutions in a single, unified notation
used consistently throughout the book.

Once you've built your foundation, put it to the test: a 40-question mini
exam for a quick diagnostic, followed by two full-length, 80-question
practice exams calibrated to the timing and difficulty of the real NCEES
computer-based exam.

A complete appendix section rounds out the book with a unified formula
reference sheet, quick-reference tables, a solutions index, and an
illustrative 20-sheet residential construction plan set for practicing
plan interpretation — one of the most consistently tested skills on the
Construction Depth exam.

Whether you're sitting for the exam for the first time or returning to
licensure after years in the field, this book is designed to make your
study time efficient, targeted, and aligned with how the exam actually
works.

Note: This edition concentrates on the highest-weighted NCEES knowledge
areas for Construction Depth (Construction Operations & Methods, Design
for Support of Construction Loads, Scheduling, Estimating, Materials QC,
and Health & Safety). It does not include dedicated chapters on Soil
Mechanics, Site Layout & Development, Structural Mechanics, or Hydraulics
& Hydrology — supplement your review of those areas with the NCEES
Reference Handbook. (See the Change Summary for details on this scope
decision.)
