Exam 1: An Overview of the Building Delivery Process How Buildings Come Into Being

The predesign phase of the project comprises a number of tasks. Which one of these is of the utmost importance to the design phase?

The project manual includes the project's construction drawings.

The day- to- day supervision of construction is the responsibility of the

In the CMAR method of project delivery, the CM

During a routine visit to the construction site, the project architect observes that the exterior wall cladding of the building is being installed before installing the windows (that are available on the site). The project architect's experience is that this sequence of construction will compromise the aesthetics and workmanship of the wall and discusses the issue with the general contractor (GC), who disagrees. What should be the project architect's follow- up step?

Provide the spelled- out versions of the acronyms "CMAA" and "CMAR." Then, explain the differences between the two project delivery methods. Use sketches to illustrate the contractual relationships between various parties involved in both methods.

Using a diagram, show the contractual relationships among the owner, architect, consultants, GC, and the subcontractors in a conventional (design- bid- build)building project.

Name at least three items of construction for which shop drawings are generally required.

Which design documentation technology allows the detection of clashes between building components during the design stage? Does this technology reduce the amount of time spent on sketch design (SD)and design development (DD)stages of the project?

Explain the benefits of the GC's preconstruction services. In which project delivery methods are GC's preconstruction services available?

The construction drawings of a building project are drawings that the architect uses to explain the design to the owner.

BIM is the most recently developed project delivery method.

The program for a building project is prepared by the

The certificate of substantial completion is issued by the local jurisdiction.

The construction document set consists of

Which division of the MasterFormat contains information that the owner, the design team and the contracting team would not need after the construction contract has been awarded?

A record document set includes

The textbook shows the sketch of a one- room, hypothetical building that can be used to recollect the sequence of the first few divisions of the MasterFormat. Describe what this building consists of in terms of its structure and the materials used so that someone can sketch it from the description.

In which of the following project delivery methods does the GC provide preconstruction services?

Of the four project delivery methods, which delivery method is most popular at the present time, as described in the text?
