    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Rebid
    Explanation
    If the Owner does not approve of the bidder chosen by the Architect, the best course of action would be to rebid the project. This means that the bidding process would need to start again, allowing other potential bidders to submit their proposals. This would give the Owner an opportunity to consider different options and select a bidder that they are comfortable with. Simply asking the chosen bidder to adjust their bid may not address the Owner's concerns and may not result in a satisfactory outcome.

    An architect needs to show his client the entirety of the project in full 3D and realistic form, what is the best way to do this?

    • Animation

    • Scale model

    • Colored perspective

    • Ask the client to go on actual bldg/place similar to your proposal and explain the difference

    Correct Answer
    A. Scale model
    Explanation
    A scale model is the best way for an architect to show the entirety of the project in full 3D and realistic form to the client. It provides a tangible representation of the design, allowing the client to visualize the project more accurately. Unlike animation or colored perspective, a scale model allows the client to physically interact with the design and understand its spatial qualities. Asking the client to visit an actual building or place similar to the proposed project may not be feasible or practical in all cases.

    • Design Competition

    • Comparative Selection

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. Comparative Selection
    Explanation
    Comparative Selection is the best method for Ana to select the designers because it allows her to compare the qualifications, experience, and portfolios of different designers before making a decision. This way, she can ensure that she chooses the most suitable designer for her rest house project based on their skills and expertise. Selecting Architect A just because they are a friend may not guarantee the best results, and a design competition may not provide a comprehensive evaluation of the designers' abilities.

    • Agreement

    • Model

    A model is not typically considered a part of contract documents. Contract documents typically include the agreement, contract drawings, and schematic designs, which are all necessary components for the construction or implementation of a project. However, a model is often used as a visual representation or prototype of the project, but it is not a formal document that is typically included in the contract.

    • Drawing

    • Text

    • Contractor

    • Architect

    • Owner

    • Project surveyor

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The contractor prepares the shop drawings.

These drawings are typically prepared by the contractor to show how they plan to construct and install the various elements of the project, such as structural steel, mechanical systems, and electrical systems. The contractor's shop drawings are then reviewed and approved by the architect and other relevant parties to ensure they meet the project requirements and specifications.

    Situation: An Architect specifies a particular material for a project that will be sourced from a foreign supplier. Everything is going as scheduled until the Contractor reports to the Client that he will not be able to finish the project as scheduled since the material needed and to be supplied by the foreign supplier is still not at the job site and delivery has been apparently delayed. There is an upcoming event and the building will not be ready in time for the scheduled activity. It will be cancelled and the Client is very unhappy due to the projected huge financial loss. Whose fault is it?

    • The Architect for specifying a product that is not available in the local market

    • The Contractor for not informing the Client and Architect about the delay before it became critical

    • The Event Organizer for scheduling events before the building was finished

    • Nobody's fault, it's something nobody wanted

    Correct Answer
    A. The Contractor for not informing the Client and Architect about the delay before it became critical
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Contractor for not informing the Client and Architect about the delay before it became critical. This is because the Contractor had a responsibility to communicate any potential delays to the Client and Architect in a timely manner. By not doing so, the Contractor caused the project to fall behind schedule, resulting in the cancellation of the scheduled activity and the Client's financial loss.

    Situational: Three siblings decided to form their own architectural firm. One is an Architect, another is an Engineer and the last is an Interior Designer. A. How much should be the architectural composition of the corporation?

    • 50%

    • 75%

    • 60%

    • 80%

    Correct Answer
    A. 75%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 75%. In a situation where three siblings form their own architectural firm, the architectural composition of the corporation should ideally be higher to reflect the expertise of the Architect sibling. With the Architect sibling being the primary professional in the field, it is reasonable to allocate a higher percentage to their role in the firm. A 75% architectural composition ensures that the Architect sibling has a significant influence and decision-making power in the company.

    Situation: Architect A is the Principal Architect of an architectural firm. Architects B & C are Junior Partners and they are in charge of the Design Team. However, it is still Architect A who signs and seals all the drawings. Recently, they hired Architects D & E, both RLA's, to be in-charge of the Production Team. A.  What is the position of Architects D & E?

    • Junior Partner

    • Draftsman

    • Junior Architect

    • Senior Partner

    Correct Answer
    A. Junior Architect

    Architects D & E are in the position of Junior Architects because they were hired to be in charge of the Production Team. This implies that they have a lower level of experience and responsibility compared to the Principal Architect and Junior Partners who are in charge of the Design Team.

    • Regular fee plus 4%

    • Regular fee plus 3%

    If an architect performs full-time supervision, their professional fee would be the regular fee plus an additional 1 1/2%. This means that the architect would charge their standard fee for their services, and then add on an extra 1 1/2% of that fee as a supplement for the full-time supervision.
