Q

What is the difference between a Project and a Facility?

A

Project describes the process of planning, designing, documenting for procurement and construction, procuring, contracting, and constructing a facility for delivery to its owner. The goal of a project is the facility. The term project can refer to the object of the delivery process or the delivery process itself. The design and construction (delivery process) of a project
is a unique combination of a scope of work (extent), its budget (cost), and its schedule (time). Facility is the completed project as a constructed entity intended for a specific purpose and function. [PDPG 1.8.1]

98
Q

Codes governing building (commercial) construction and residential construction are …

A

Building (commercial) codes and residential codes are not the same. International Building Code (IBC) applies to every building or structure or any appurtenances connected or attached to such buildings or structures WITH THE EXCEPTION that detached one-and-two family dwellings and townhouses not more than three stories above grade plane in height with a separate means of egress and their accessory structures not more than three stories above grade plane in height shall comply with the International Residential Code (IRC). [PDPG 4.4.2]

99
Q

Which member of the project team usually hires a construction manager.

A

The owner usually engages the services of a construction manager, an entity that typically contracts with the owner to provide construction management services. [PDPG 3.1.2; PDPG Figure 3.4]

100
Q

The Procurement Documents include all of the following EXCEPT:

A

The Procurement Documents include the procurement requirements, contracting requirements, specifications,
contract drawings, and resource drawings. Contract modifications are outside of the scope of procurement documents due to their nature of modifying the Agreement. [PDPG 6.2; PDPG Figure 5.1]

101
Q

Differences between the AlA A201, EJCDC C-700, DBIA 535, and AGC ConsensusDOCS 200:

A

Each document deals with project conditions and issues in a similar manner but with language determined to be in accord with the needs of each organization. [PDPG Appendix A: Comparisons of Standard General Conditions]

102
Q

How are construction drawings and the specifications complementary?

A

Both are needed to fully describe a construction project. The drawings show size, form, quantity, relationship, generic type, and graphic representations of construction materials. The specifications define the qualitative requirements for products, materials, and workmanship on which the construction contract is based. [PDPG 5.2; PDPG 5.8.2]

103
Q

The ____ furnishes products for the project.

A

A supplier furnishes or supplies materials and products for the project to be constructed. Typically, suppliers do not physically install materials themselves, but may be required to certify installers (in most instances a subcontractor) or observe installation for complicated work. [PDPG 1.6]

104
Q

The General Conditions of the Contract for Construction apply to the contractual relationship between:

A

The conditions of the contract are written provisions that define the basic rights, responsibilities, and relationships of the parties associated in the construction of a project. [PDPG 5.1.2]
