First, the builder has not been cancelled, and will not be cancelled as a practicing certificate. It is a kind of certification and employment certificate with specific professional knowledge and skills.
Second, if you don't practice or work in the construction industry at the same time, it is not recommended to take the construction engineer exam. First of all, you don't have relevant practical experience in construction engineering and the foundation of construction technology, so it's difficult to be admitted to the construction engineer. Secondly, if you don't practice, you just want to rely on the certificate, which is an illegal act that is explicitly prohibited. At the same time, because you don't have the professional ability of architecture, it is equivalent to completely exposing the risks of your career. Now you need a lifelong responsibility system for the quality of construction projects. For laymen, the risk should not be underestimated.
Third, if you are admitted to the construction engineer but don't plan to develop into the engineering industry, then the time and energy for preparing for the exam will be completely wasted, which is actually not worth the candle.
Fourth, if you choose to practice, you can accumulate a lot of knowledge about the construction engineer's practice, laws and regulations in your practical work experience. It can be said that you can naturally get the job as a construction engineer after you have a certain foundation.
To sum up, it is the right choice to choose practice first, so as to study for practice, rather than putting the cart before the horse, and to study for research's sake.
