NCARB PDD Exam Syllabus Topics:
TopicDetails
Topic 1
  • Codes & Regulations: This section of the exam measures skills of Building Code Specialists and examines how codes and regulations apply at a detailed level during documentation. Candidates are expected to demonstrate knowledge of compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) as well as other specialty regulations, as well as how to interpret and apply these standards to ensure design and documentation meet legal and safety requirements.
Topic 2
  • Construction Documentation: This section of the exam measures skills of Project Architects and addresses the creation and management of project documentation. Candidates are expected to demonstrate knowledge of documenting building design and site features, preparing detailed architectural drawings, and applying industry standards to produce a coordinated set of construction documents. The section also includes understanding how project changes impact documentation and how to communicate these updates effectively to both the design team and the client.:
Topic 3
  • Integration of Building Materials & Systems: This section of the exam measures the skills of Architectural Designers and focuses on the ability to resolve and integrate various building systems into cohesive project goals. It covers analyzing architectural systems and technologies, determining the size of structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and incorporating specialty systems such as acoustics, lighting, security, and communications. It also evaluates the ability to detail how multiple building systems work together and to coordinate across disciplines to achieve a unified design.
Topic 4
  • Construction Cost: This section of the exam measures the skills of Construction Managers and focuses on the financial side of project execution. It evaluates the ability to analyze construction cost estimates to confirm that they align with project design intent and budgetary constraints. Although this is the smallest section, it is critical for ensuring projects remain feasible and economically viable.
Topic 5
  • Project Manual & Specifications: This section of the exam measures the skills of Specifications Writers and emphasizes the importance of developing documentation that goes beyond drawings. Candidates must understand how to identify and prioritize elements needed to prepare, maintain, and refine both the project manual and project specifications. It also assesses the ability to align and coordinate these specifications with the construction documents to ensure consistency and accuracy.

NCARB ARE 5.0 Project Development and Documentation Exam Sample Questions (Q42-Q47):NEW QUESTION # 42
Owners of a busy two-story theater complex want to renovate. The new renovations include increasing the second floor lobby and doubling the number of second floor movie screens. The owner favors the use of escalators. Movies are scheduled to start simultaneously every three hours. The theater currently has a pair of
24-inch-wide parallel escalators, one of which goes up and the other down.
Which of the following should be proposed to accommodate the increased traffic to the second floor?
  • A. Install a new elevator in the lobby
  • B. Increase the existing escalator speeds to 130 fpm
  • C. Extend balustrades at escalator landings
  • D. Install a new escalator that reverses direction
Answer: D
Explanation:
Given:
The theater doubles its second-floor movie screens, increasing patron traffic.
Existing escalators are two 24-inch wide units, one up and one down, with simultaneous movie start times every 3 hours.
To handle increased traffic:
Increasing existing escalator speed to 130 fpm (option A) is limited by safety and code limits (typically max around 100 fpm); also increases wear.
Installing a new elevator (option B) is helpful for accessibility but does not efficiently handle high flow of large crowds during peak.
Installing a new escalator that reverses direction (option C) (also called a "dance" or "two-way" escalator) allows flexibility to accommodate peak traffic flow-e.g., two escalators up during rush times and one down, or vice versa.
Extending balustrades (option D) improves safety but does not increase capacity.
Therefore, option C is the best solution to manage increased passenger flow.

NEW QUESTION # 43
During drawing review, a discrepancy is found between the drawings and room 101 on the finish schedule.
Click in the cell on the room finish schedule that does not match the drawings.

Answer:
Explanation:

Explanation:
Generated image

To identify the discrepancy between the drawings and the Room Finish Schedule for Room 101, compare what's shown in the restroom elevation and plan versus the listed finishes.
Step-by-step comparison:
* Room 101 (Women's Restroom) is shown with:
* Wall finish: Clearly shows tile (CT) on the lower half of the walls in the elevation.
* But in the finish schedule, Room 101 has "T" (paint) listed under wall finish.
# Therefore, the error is in the wall finish cell for Room 101, which should show CT (ceramic tile), not PT (paint).

NEW QUESTION # 44
Which of the following metals is best suited for embedments in concrete or masonry?
  • A. Stainless steel
  • B. Bronze
  • C. Cast iron
  • D. Aluminum
Answer: A
Explanation:
When metals are embedded in concrete or masonry, corrosion resistance is a critical factor due to the alkaline environment and potential moisture exposure.
Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for embedments in concrete or masonry where long-term durability is required.
Bronze is corrosion-resistant but typically used for decorative or hardware applications, not structural embedments.
Aluminum corrodes readily in alkaline concrete environments and is not suitable for embedments without protective coatings.
Cast iron is susceptible to rust and corrosion in moist conditions and is generally avoided for embedded components.
Thus, stainless steel is best suited for durability and corrosion resistance in concrete/masonry embedments.

NEW QUESTION # 45
The architect has completed 60% of the construction documents. The owner wants to establish the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) at this point before 100% of the construction documents are complete. Several flooring finish items are still undetermined.
What should be included in the project manual to make sure the contractor has a cost to cover all finishes?
  • A. Schedule of flooring unit prices to be completed by the contractor
  • B. Allowance of $30/sq. yd. for floor finishes
  • C. Contingency of 10% added to the overall construction cost
  • D. Alternate to change broadloom carpet to carpet tile
Answer: B
Explanation:
When a GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) is established before the design is 100% complete and specific materials are not yet chosen, the correct approach is to specify allowances in the project manual.
An allowance is a fixed monetary amount for a specific scope item (e.g., flooring finishes) that allows the contractor to carry a cost in the bid/GMP until the actual product is selected. This ensures the GMP covers the item without delaying pricing.
A). Contingency - Is for unforeseen conditions, not specific unselected finishes.
B). Schedule of unit prices - Typically used for variable-quantity work, not for unknown product selection.
D). Alternate - Provides an option for substitution, but does not guarantee a base cost in the GMP.
