Professional Remodelers Experience Profile (PREP)

The PREP is the required first step in the process of becoming a Certified Graduate Remodelor™(CGR). It is a 3-hour 130 multiple- choice question assessment that measures a candidate’s knowledge in five core areas of remodeling business management: - Marketing and Sales - Business Administration - Design, Estimating and Job Costing - Contracts, Liability and Risk Management - Project Management Candidates do not pass or fail the PREP. Results determine the course of study for CGR candidates and will count as one CGR course. The registration fee is $195.  For details see the NAHB PREP Candidate Info Guide.

PREP is offered throughout the year through state and local home builder associations, as well as at other national and regional venues, such as the Remodelers’ Show, International Builders’ Show, and JLC Live.
