  1. What is the purpose of a Commissioning Plan (CxP) developed during the design phase of a healthcare project?

    Answer: It establishes the overall commissioning process, scope, schedule, and responsibilities for verifying systems perform as intended

    The Commissioning Plan is the roadmap for the entire commissioning process, defining scope, methodology, team roles, and schedule milestones.

  2. On a design-build healthcare project, who holds the design professionals' contracts?

    Answer: The design-builder (contractor) holds the architect and engineer contracts

    In design-build delivery, the design-builder assumes responsibility for both design and construction, holding all design subcontracts.

  3. A hospital renovation requires temporary relocation of a medical gas manifold. Which standard governs the installation requirements for medical gas systems in healthcare facilities?

    Answer: NFPA 99 - Health Care Facilities Code

    NFPA 99 governs medical gas and vacuum systems, electrical systems, and other utilities critical to healthcare facility safety.

  4. Which project delivery metric measures the percentage of work completed on time relative to the planned schedule, using earned value management (EVM)?

    Answer: Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

    The Schedule Performance Index (SPI) = Earned Value ÷ Planned Value; an SPI below 1.0 indicates the project is behind schedule.

  5. During construction of a new operating room suite, the contractor must coordinate the installation sequence for which two systems FIRST before other finishes proceed?

    Answer: Medical gas rough-in and HVAC ductwork

    Medical gas rough-in and HVAC ductwork are overhead systems that must be installed and tested before ceiling, wall, and floor finishes can proceed.

  6. What is the primary purpose of a Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA) on a healthcare renovation project?

    Answer: To evaluate the potential impact of construction activities on patient safety and infection control before work begins

    The PCRA, required by The Joint Commission, evaluates risks to patients, staff, and visitors from construction activities and determines required mitigation measures.

  7. A CHC is reviewing the project's submittal log and notices a critical shop drawing has been in the architect's queue for 35 days with no response. What is the MOST appropriate next step?

    Answer: Formally notify the architect and owner in writing of the delay and its schedule impact

    Formally documenting the delay in writing preserves the contractor's rights and gives the design team a documented opportunity to respond before claiming schedule impact.
