Florida Licensing Service And Experience Requirements

DoubleJ

I'm taking the Florida GC test in April. I contacted a licensing service and they were $450 to $1093, depending on what you want them to do.

Is this really worth it? I'm having trouble seeing what they actually DO for you. Tell you what paperwork to get in order? The state does that. How much help do they actually give you on the paperwork?

Also on the experience requirements, 61G4-15.001 (2) (a) defines construction experience as: experience in four or more of the following areas - foundation slabs, masonry walls, steel erection, trusses, structural wood framing, column erection, and/or formwork. However, it doesn't state what kind of experience they are looking for in those areas. I worked in engineering over 20 years for the Federal Government perfoming planning, construction cost estimates for all sorts of buildings, etc. Is that considered experience in those area meeting the Florida requirement?
