Question 1

Matching 
Identify in which project phase the following work would occur.
-Contract for subcontract services
A) Initiation and feasibility analysis
B) Project design
C) Procurement
D) Construction
E) Turnover and startup

Accepted Answer

Contracting for subcontract services typically occurs during the Procurement phase of a project, where services, suppliers, and contractors are selected and contracts are negotiated and signed.

Question 2

Matching 
Identify in which project phase the following work would occur.
-Broad-scale planning
A) Initiation and feasibility analysis
B) Project design
C) Procurement
D) Construction
E) Turnover and startup

Accepted Answer

Broad-scale planning typically occurs during the initiation and feasibility analysis phase, where the project's overall scope, objectives, and feasibility are assessed.

Question 3

Matching 
Identify in which project phase the following work would occur.
-Store spare parts and collect warranties
A) Initiation and feasibility analysis
B) Project design
C) Procurement
D) Construction
E) Turnover and startup

Accepted Answer

Storing spare parts and collecting warranties typically occur during the turnover and startup phase, as these activities are part of preparing for the operational phase of the project.

Question 4

Matching 
Identify in which project phase the following work would occur.
-Coordinate labor and material installation
A) Initiation and feasibility analysis
B) Project design
C) Procurement
D) Construction
E) Turnover and startup

Accepted Answer

Coordinating labor and material installation is a task that typically occurs during the Construction phase of a project.

Question 5

Matching 
Identify in which project phase the following work would occur.
-Write project specifications
A) Initiation and feasibility analysis
B) Project design
C) Procurement
D) Construction
E) Turnover and startup

Accepted Answer

Writing project specifications is typically part of the project design phase, where detailed plans and requirements are developed.

Question 6

As a project moves through the design phase, decisions and details considered become more numerous, and of a smaller scale.

Accepted Answer

As a project progresses through the design phase, more specific and detailed decisions are made, focusing on smaller aspects of the project to refine and finalize the design.

Question 7

Long-lead items are materials or equipment typically ordered and bought by the in advance of the contract award.
A) Owner
B) Designer
C) Construction manager
D) Trade contractor
E) Public

Accepted Answer

Long-lead items are typically ordered and bought by the owner in advance of the contract award to ensure that the project does not face delays due to the long manufacturing or delivery times of these items.

Question 8

With the cost of money increasing 10 percent per year, a dollar spent on construction today is worth more than a dollar earned two years in the future.

Accepted Answer

Due to the increase in the cost of money (inflation), a dollar today has more purchasing power than a dollar in the future, making it more valuable now than later.

Question 9

In which of the following are the four stages of design in the correct order?
A) Schematic design; programming; design development; contract documents
B) Programming; schematic design; design development; contract documents
C) Design development; schematic design; contract documents; programming
D) Schematic design; design development; contract documents; programming
E) Programming; design development; schematic design; contract documents

Accepted Answer

The correct order for the stages of design is: Programming (defining the project's needs), Schematic Design (initial design sketches based on the program), Design Development (refining the design), and Contract Documents (detailed drawings and specifications for construction).

Question 10

Assuming no contract changes, during which of the following project stages is the actual cost of construction most likely to be determined?
A) Feasibility analysis
B) Design
C) Procurement
D) Construction
E) None of the above

Accepted Answer

The answer of Assuming no contract changes, during which of...
