Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Subcategory 1.4
: Road and pipeline contractor
What is subcategory 1.4 of the RBQ?
Subcategory 1.4 (Roads and Pipelines) is a specialty associated with the general contractor’s license. It authorizes a company to perform or have performed specific civil engineering work, such as the construction of roads, public thoroughfares, sewers, water mains, pipelines, and railway structures.
Which RBQ exams are required to obtain subcategory 1.4?
Since Category 1.4 falls under the general contractor’s license, you are required to pass several exams. First, you must take the core curriculum exams (Administration, Construction Site Safety Management, and Project and Site Management). Next, you must pass the specific Construction Work Execution (CWE) exam for subcategory 1.4.
What other types of work are included in subcategory 1.4?
As a general contractor holding Subcategory 1.4, you are authorized to perform work in several other subcategories, provided that such work is part of your civil engineering project. This includes concrete (3.1), masonry (4.1), steel (5.1), and wood (6.1) structures. You may also subcontract work on submerged civil engineering structures (1.6).
What skills are assessed on the RBQ 1.4 exam?
The exam specific to subcategory 1.4 is based on the RBQ competency profile. You will be assessed on your technical ability to
- Gain a thorough understanding of the work to be done (earthwork, plumbing, paving, etc.).
- Explain the concepts and technical terms related to civil engineering projects.
- Gain a thorough understanding of the specific applications in civil and underground engineering.
- Understand and apply the Building Code as well as current safety and compliance regulations.
