General engineering projects form the backbone of modern infrastructure, combining earthwork, utilities, structural systems, and surface construction into a single coordinated effort. Conquer the General Engineering Contractor Exam in Under 90 Minutes delivers a focused, system-level overview of how these components function together in real construction environments. Rather than isolating individual trades, this guide emphasizes how soil, water, structures, and utilities interact across the full lifecycle of a project.

This study guide explores core technical domains including site evaluation, surveying, earthwork, trenching, dewatering, underground utilities, foundations, concrete, reinforcement, structural steel, paving, and roadway systems. Each chapter is written to reflect how forces move through materials, how construction sequencing affects stability, and how temporary conditions influence long-term performance. Concepts are presented clearly and concisely, without unnecessary detail that distracts from essential engineering behavior.

The audiobook-friendly format uses short, fully developed paragraphs designed for continuous listening. Ideas flow logically from one topic to the next, allowing listeners to build a mental model of general engineering work as an integrated system rather than a checklist of tasks. The content avoids state-specific rules and changing numerical thresholds, focusing instead on durable principles that apply across jurisdictions and project types.

If you’ve already invested time and money into preparing, don’t leave success to chance. This fast, structured review helps reinforce critical concepts, sharpen technical understanding, and bring clarity to how general engineering systems operate together in the field. Whether used as a final refresher or a focused overview, this guide is built to help you think like a general engineering contractor.
