Would you say all 4 books CLARB has listed for section 1 are important to cover?  I understand perhaps not in their entirety. 

Josephine,
Hinze will not begin to cover all of Section 1. It just deals with Construction Contracts and Construction Law.

Thank you Cheryl, I’m going to email you now.  Your webinars look good. 

Hi, I’m preparing to take the LARE Sections 1 & 4 in April. Should Construction Contracts by Hinze cover section 1 fairly well? Also can someone please tell me the best resource to learn when webinars or classes in the NY metropolitan area are being offered to prepare for the exams?  I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Josephine

any idea what may be some of the flaws in the construction cross sections?
steps, hardscaping, retaining walls, etc?

Great, thanks for the help!
 
I think I’m going to buy the LaGro book to start with and try to get the other ones through interlibrary loan (which never even occurred to me at first). 
 
I would eventually like to buy all of them, but that’s almost $600 for all the books (used), exam fee, and study guides, so that’ll have to wait.
