Question No. 1

Which four factors will most affect the choice of project delivery method? Check the four that apply.

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, C, E, F

A . Project scope: Impacts complexity and integration needs.

C . Owner capabilities: Determines whether the owner can manage multiple contracts (as in DBB or CM).

E . Risk tolerance: Risk-averse owners may prefer DB or CM-at-risk with cost guarantees.

F . Construction cost: Influences whether fast-tracking or GMP methods are needed.

Incorrect:

B . The firm's size is rarely a determining factor.

D . Code compliance is required in all methods but doesn't drive delivery choice.

Question No. 2

Which document defines the architect's scope of services and responsibilities?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

The Owner-Architect Agreement (AIA B101) is the primary contract outlining the architect's scope, deliverables, compensation, and responsibilities. It establishes the legal framework for services. General Conditions cover construction contract provisions; bid proposals are contractor documents; construction documents are design deliverables. ARE 5.0 PjM requires knowledge of these agreements to manage scope and responsibilities.


Question No. 3

An architect is performing a schematic design quality control review for a new mid-rise office tower.

Which drawings will be included in the architect's review?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

During schematic design (SD), drawings are focused on spatial relationships, massing, and early systems. Elevations are appropriate at this stage because they show the external appearance and height relationships. Finish floor plans (detailed room finishes) and wall sections (more technical and detailed) are developed later during design development (DD) or construction documents (CD).

Question No. 4

What does ''substantial completion'' mean in the context of a construction contract?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

Substantial completion means the project or a portion of it is sufficiently complete in accordance with the contract documents so that the owner can occupy or use the space for its intended purpose. Punch list work typically remains. It triggers warranty periods and changes in risk responsibility. ARE 5.0 PjM requires understanding of contract milestones.


Question No. 5

Which preliminary deliverables are usually provided for a schematic phase submission? Check the four that apply.

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, B, C, E

During the Schematic Design (SD) phase, the architect develops preliminary design concepts to establish the general scope, scale, and relationships of the project components. The typical deliverables are conceptual drawings and studies that communicate the design intent clearly but without detailed development.

Floor plans (A): Basic layouts showing room arrangements and spatial relationships are fundamental schematic deliverables.

Elevations and sections (B): These help communicate the building's exterior appearance and vertical spatial relationships.

Site plan (C): Provides context for the building's location, orientation, and relationship to existing site features.

Cost estimates (E): Early cost estimates are usually prepared to inform budget decisions and feasibility.

Deliverables not typical in the schematic phase:

Finish schedule (D): This is usually developed later in Design Development or Construction Documents phases when finishes are selected in detail.

Detailed specifications (F): These are produced during Construction Documents, far beyond schematic design.

Thus, the four preliminary deliverables for schematic phase submissions are floor plans, elevations and sections, site plan, and cost estimates.
