NCARB ARE 5.0 Project Development and Documentation Exam Sample Questions (Q27-Q32):
NEW QUESTION # 27
In the critical path method of scheduling for new construction, the site work portion is always on the critical path due to which of the following?
Answer: D
Explanation:
In the Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, the critical path is the longest sequence of dependent activities that determines the project duration.
Site work typically involves grading, excavation, underground utilities, and foundation preparation.
Site work must proceed in a linear, sequential manner: earthwork must finish before foundation pours; utilities are installed before slabs.
These activities are dependent on each other and cannot be done in parallel or out of order.
Therefore, site work forms a continuous chain of dependent activities on the critical path.
Other options are less relevant to CPM critical path logic:
Site work costs or retainage do not influence CPM scheduling.
Short interval scheduling is a project control technique, not a CPM determinant.

CPM scheduling principles from project management texts like PMBOK or Construction Planning and Scheduling by Jimmie Hinze
NEW QUESTION # 28
Temporary shoring of a masonry wall should remain in place until what point?
Answer: C
Explanation:
(PDD) Study Guide References:
Temporary shoring in masonry construction supports walls until they gain sufficient stability. It should remain in place until:
The wall is laterally braced or tied back to a stable structure to resist wind and other lateral loads.
Mortar may have hardened but shoring removal depends on the overall stability.
Horizontal reinforcing and backfilling provide some support but do not replace lateral bracing.
Thus, temporary shoring should remain until all lateral bracing connections are complete, ensuring the wall's stability.

NEW QUESTION # 29
Which of the following is most appropriate to coordinate ceiling-mounted HVAC diffusers?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Reflected ceiling plans (RCPs) show locations of diffusers, lighting, ceiling grids, etc. Critical for coordinating mechanical with electrical and architectural elements. Related to Objective 3.1: Coordination of disciplines.
NEW QUESTION # 30
A family-owned apple farm in the Upper Midwest is taking advantage of a change in the local zoning code that added a new Agri-Tourism class in the existing farm zone. This allows the Owner to build a new facility on their existing site. The building will be open to the public and include a brewery, distillery, tap room, and market. The architect is ready to submit the drawings to the Owner for the 50% construction documents review.
To accommodate a compressed construction schedule, the Owner will be utilizing a design-build process. The Contractor has submitted the Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) shop drawings to the Architect for review, due to the lead time on this critical path item. Once construction begins, farming operations must be able to continue uninterrupted.
Key project information includes:
* Brewing and distilling will operate year-round.
* Brewery will initially include four fermenting tanks. Owner has requested space for at least two additional tanks. Potential expansion will be based on future sales.
* Distillery will produce 16% alcohol, which is classified as a flammable liquid. Fire separations are required.
* Tap Room is designed with seating for 300 people, not including exterior patio seating. It will have views to the working orchards and the historic buildings on site.
* Tap Room is scheduled to be open from August through November. Owner would like options to extend operating dates based on popularity.
* The Market area will feature local farm products and is not conditioned.
* Entire building will be fully sprinklered.
* Selected building materials are low-maintenance, as requested by the Owner, for durability and to reflect the nature of a working farm.
* Mechanical and electrical systems will be hung from the building structure. These loads are included in PEMB shop drawings.
* Public water and sewer is not available at the Project Site.
* Occupancy sensors are included to reduce utility costs and achieve energy conservation requirements.
The following resources are available for your reference:
* Architectural Drawings, including plans, elevations, sections, and schedules
* Consultant Drawings, including structural, HVAC, power distribution, and plumbing
* PEMB Shop Drawings
* Design and Construction Schedule
* Specification Excerpts, showing relevant spec sections
* IBC and ADA Excerpts, showing relevant code and accessibility sections
* After reviewing the documents, the architect discovers a coordination issue in the corridor.
Which modification is required?
Answer: C
Explanation:
At 50% CDs with early PEMB coordination and compressed schedule, typical cross-discipline clashes in corridors involve above-ceiling valves/dampers that lack required access from a public space. Plumbing and mechanical codes require accessible, labeled access panels for isolation/shut-off valves (and similar devices) located in concealed spaces so they can be serviced without disrupting operations-critical here because farm work must continue during construction/operation.
Exit sign at door #15 (A) depends on egress analysis; not a generic coordination issue.
Relocate diffusers (B) is a comfort/layout decision, not a compliance coordination issue unless they conflict with lights/sprinklers.
PDD refs: IMC/IPC provisions for access to valves and equipment in concealed spaces; Division 08/10 access panels; ARE 5.0 PDD-Coordination of MEP with architectural ceilings and corridors.
NEW QUESTION # 31
A revolving door is to be mounted in the facade of a building. Story drift is limited to 0.002 times story height in any direction. The door can tolerate a maximum departure from vertical of 1/4 inch.
What is the maximum height the door can be to accommodate the story drift?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Given:
Maximum story drift ratio = 0.002 × story height (H)
Maximum door tolerance (max lateral displacement allowed) = 1/4 inch = 0.25 inch Since the door can tolerate up to 0.25 inch displacement, the maximum height to prevent exceeding drift is about 10.4 ft.
But check options-since 10.4 ft is closest to option B: 9 ft or option C: 10 ft?
The maximum height to accommodate the drift is just over 10 ft, so option C: 10 ft is correct.
Correction to Verified answer: C. 10 ft
Summary:
Max drift = 0.002 × H
Max drift # 0.25 inch
Solve for H # 125 in = 10.4 ft
Door can tolerate max 10 ft height to not exceed drift
Reference:
NCARB ARE 5.0 Review Manual, Structural Systems and Building Envelope chapters IBC and ASCE 7 provisions on story drift limits and building movement tolerances
