ARE 5.0 - PJM (NCARB Communities And Others):Questions And Answers
CMc definition Right Ans - The CM-constructor (CMc), also called CM-at-
risk, places the CM in a role similar to that of the traditional general
contractor. Capable of providing valuable pre-construction services of cost
estimation and scheduling while the architect is developing the design and its
deliverables, the CMc shifts focus to building the project at some point prior to
construction. In the simplest terms, they are bound to the contract documents,
the cost estimate, and the schedule that they themselves help establish. In
many ways, the CMc is a mirror image of the design-bid-build (DBB) method
of delivery, with all the dangers and conflict that accompany it.
Advantages and disadvantages of CMc compared to DBB Right Ans - - While
"prior experience" could be applied as criteria for a design-bid-build project
as well as a CMc project, the effect would not be the same. Early involvement
in the project helps the CMc to understand design intent to ensure that the
scope is fully realized. The exchange of insight between architect and CM
during design is one of the primary benefits of a CMc arrangement.
- The CMc can advise on current market conditions and labor costs to help the
AE team design cost-effective building options.
- Under DBB, a single package of documents is delivered to bidders, with the
package coordinated by the AE team. This is the simplest method of delivery,
but not the fastest. To deliver a project quickly, document "bid packages" are
released depending on their place in the overall schedule. Unfortunately,
multiple bid packages released over time add uncertainty and may require
changes as the documents progress
Why CMc delivery? Right Ans - Is the schedule for completion aggressive?
Is the cost critical? Is the scope unknown?
Constructability reviews Right Ans - reviewing the design (and drawings)
to identify problems that might me the project difficult/impossible to
construct asking the questions "Will this impact the cost, time, or quality of
the project?" and "Will the contractor, or subcontractors, require an answer to
, this question in order to perform their work?" So from that it seems that it
should also be looking for gaps in the documents.
Differences between contingency for design vs contingency for the entire
project vs contingency held by the contractor. Also look at when design fees
are percentage of construction cost based how they are (or aren't) affected by
contingency. Right Ans -

1 yd2 Right Ans - 9 ft2
1 yd3 Right Ans - 27 ft3
