  1. A residential contractor must sequence framing, roofing, and rough-in MEP. Which scheduling logic relationship requires roofing to FINISH before rough-in MEP can START?

    Answer: Finish-to-Start (FS)

    A Finish-to-Start relationship means the predecessor activity (roofing) must finish before the successor activity (rough-in MEP) can begin.

  2. A contractor is using the Percentage of Completion method to recognize revenue on a long-term residential project. If $300,000 of work is complete on a $1,000,000 contract, what percentage should be recognized?

    Answer: 30%

    Under the Percentage of Completion method, $300,000 completed on a $1,000,000 contract = 30% revenue recognized.

  3. Which type of float represents the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the project's early finish date, considering its impact on successor activities?

    Answer: Free float

    Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the early start of any immediately following activity.

  4. A residential contractor's project budget shows a Schedule Performance Index (SPI) of 0.85. What does this indicate about the project?

    Answer: The project is 15% behind schedule

    An SPI below 1.0 means the project is behind schedule; an SPI of 0.85 indicates the project is only accomplishing 85 cents of planned work for every dollar of planned work.

  5. A contractor submits shop drawings for custom steel fabrication. Who is responsible for reviewing and approving shop drawings on a typical residential construction project?

    Answer: The design professional (architect/engineer)

    Shop drawing review and approval is the responsibility of the design professional (architect or engineer) to confirm conformance with design intent.

  6. Which procurement strategy reduces contractor risk by allowing price adjustments for material cost fluctuations over the project duration?

    Answer: Unit price contract with escalation clauses

    Unit price contracts with escalation clauses allow price adjustments tied to material cost indices, protecting contractors from commodity price volatility.

  7. A residential contractor is preparing a preliminary schedule during the bidding phase. Which scheduling tool is MOST appropriate for presenting a simple visual timeline to the client?

    Answer: Gantt (bar) chart

    A Gantt (bar) chart is the most widely understood schedule presentation tool, displaying activities as horizontal bars against a calendar timeline.
