  1. Which document establishes the approved project schedule baseline against which progress is measured?

    Answer: Baseline Schedule

    The baseline schedule is the formally approved version of the project schedule used to measure and report schedule performance.

  2. Activity sequencing in a Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) network is based on which type of logical relationships?

    Answer: Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, and Start-to-Finish

    PDM supports all four logical relationship types (FS, SS, FF, SF), offering more flexibility than the older Arrow Diagramming Method.

  3. A construction project is experiencing repeated delays due to subcontractor interference. Which scheduling technique best addresses this by identifying parallel work conflicts?

    Answer: Time-location diagram (linear scheduling)

    Time-location diagrams (also called linear schedules or LOB) plot work progress against both time and location, making crew interference conflicts visually apparent.

  4. Under the Contract Time provisions of AIA A201, what is the owner's remedy if the contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion by the contract date?

    Answer: Assessment of liquidated damages as specified in the contract

    AIA contracts typically allow the owner to assess liquidated damages for each day beyond the contractual Substantial Completion date.

  5. Which analysis technique identifies the longest path through a schedule network to determine the minimum project duration?

    Answer: Critical Path Analysis

    Critical Path Analysis calculates early and late dates for all activities to identify the longest path, which determines the shortest possible project duration.

  6. A construction manager wants to recover 3 weeks of schedule delay at the lowest possible cost. Which approach should be evaluated first?

    Answer: Fast-tracking by overlapping design and construction phases

    Fast-tracking overlaps activities that were originally planned sequentially, potentially recovering time without incurring direct cost premiums.

  7. What is the significance of 'negative float' appearing in a construction schedule?

    Answer: The project completion date has already been missed or is mathematically unachievable

    Negative float indicates the project's calculated completion date is later than the required completion date, signaling a schedule deficit that must be addressed.
