CDT Exam 2 2024 Questions Graded A+

What is Dual Nature of design? - ANSWERSAesthetic and Technical Design



Hard Costs - ANSWERSTangible components of completed projects

EX: Site related costs, construction, furniture/furnishings, equipment

*Included in the PROJECT BUDGET



Soft Costs - ANSWERSNon-Tangible components of completed projects.

EX: Due Diligence, Project Design Fees, Commissioning, Jurisdictional Fees, Relocation, Terminating
Leases and Rental Agreements

*Included in the project budget



Value Analysis - ANSWERSThe process of evaluating a design to identify potential alternative methods,
systems, or materials that will benefit the project by enhancing the life cycle.

*Value: The decision making process is improved by analysis



Value Analysis Methodology - ANSWERSValue Analysis is conducted in a workshop format and can be
held anytime during Design and Construction Process

*The Workshop Steps: Information Phase, Speculation (creative) Phase, Evaluation (analysis) Phase,
Development Phase, Presentation Phase



Schematic Design - ANSWERSA/E Reviews and Evaluates the wonders program and budget requirements
and offers alternative approaches to the design of the project. *A/E prepares schematic design
documents for owners approval, Including: Preliminary Sketches, Small scale schematic plans,
evaluations, sections, diagrams, renderings, and other GRAPHIC AND WRITTEN Documents that illustrate
the general extent, scale, and relationship among project components



Types of drawings prepared during the schematic design phase - ANSWERS* site plan

* floor plans

,* perspective and renderings

* elevations

* building sections

* digital modeling



Preliminary Project Description (PPD) - ANSWERSDescribes the scope and relationships of major
elements organized in terms of building systems and components

Includes information suitable for preliminary cost estimates, time schedules, and initial value

May include both performance criteria and some major product identification DEPENDING ON progress
of the design and decision making process



PPD Serves To: - ANSWERSState the A/E's understanding of the method of construction delivery (Bid,
negotiated, CMaR, D-B, O-B, etc. intended by owner, and conditions of the contract proposed to support
the delivery method

Inform owner of proposed design elements, components, and systems to be used.

Describe systems meeting the design and budget constraints

Document the basis for time schedules and estimates of probable construction costs.



Which CSI Classification Standard is used to Organize a PPD? - ANSWERSUniformat



Cost Estimating Technique MOST APPROPRIATE during Schematic Design Phase? - ANSWERSUnit of
Measure (a "somewhat" more accurate method of predicting constructed costs than the order of
Magnitude Cost Estimate Method)



Unit of Measure - ANSWERS"Somewhat" more accurate than order of magnitude

Construction MUST BE DEFINED AND APPROXIMATE total Facility size MUST BE KNOWN

Unit costs per SQ. FT/FT3 are established for Gross Area/Volume and Net Area/Volume

- Gross Area/Volume determined for ENTIRE facility

- Net Area/Volume is the Area/Volume decided for the Facility's INTENDED PRIMARY USE

SQ.FT. Or Volume method gets a more accurate project cost, usually 15 to 20%

,Order of Magnitude - ANSWERSThe quickest estimate to complete and the LEAST ACCURATE

provides a "Ballpark" estimate for project cost

-Accuracy is 20-25%

uses PER UNIT occupancy costs

EX: A cost per bed price for a nursing home, Hospital, or a hotel

OR

Cost per seat prices for a Theater or a Restaurant



Assemblies/Systems - ANSWERSRequires more detailed information about the project construction

Cost per unit of assembled construction is used to form the cost estimate

Uniformat can be used as a cost guide format

Cost per unit for windows, doors, Bath Fixtures etc.

Cost for each assembly, item, or group are totaled to get total cost estimate



Unit Price - ANSWERSUses a complete, detailed list of project materials, components, and other cost
items for the entire project

MOST ACCURATE TYPE OF COST ESTIMATE

-Accurate to 3-5%

Requires significant amount of time and effort

UTILIZES THE COMPLETED Construction Documents



Design Development - ANSWERSComes AFTER owners approval of schematic design and any program or
budget adjustments



EMPHASIS shifts from overall relationships and functions to MORE TECHNICAL ISSUES OF
CONSTRUCTIBILITY AND INTEGRATION OF SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS

Aesthetic concerns move from massing arrangements to MATERIALS, SURFACES, and DETAILS



Types of Drawings Prepared for The Design Development Phase - ANSWERSSite Plan

Floor Plans

, Elevations

Building Sections

Perspective and Renderings

Digital Modeling

Structural Plans

Fire Protection Plans

Landscape Plans

Mechanical Plans

Grading and Drainage Plans



Outline Specifications - ANSWERSHelp Owner become familiar with and understand building ELEMENTS,
PRODUCTS, and STANDARDS

Serve a variety of purposes for LENDERS, ESTIMATORS, CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS, and CODE
OFFICIALS

**They are a RECORD OF DECISIONS about specific materials, equipment, systems, methods,
manufactures, and special fabrication requirements **



Information Provided in OUTLINE SPECIFICATIONS - ANSWERSInfo. about Manufacturers, Materials,
Manufactured units, Equipment, Components, and Accessories

Reference Standards involving products and installation

Special Submittal Requirements

Special Qualifications

Description of any Extended or Special Warranty Requirements

Describe Material Mixes, Fabrications, and Finishes

- Installation, Erection, and Application Procedures (if info is UNIQUE to protect)



Which CSI Classification Standard is used to ORGANIZE Outline Specifications? - ANSWERSMaster Format
