NCARB ARE 5.0 Project Development and Documentation Exam Sample Questions (Q77-Q82):

NEW QUESTION # 77
An architect is designing a new poured-in-place concrete residential tower with individual condo units. The drawings specify exposed cantilevered concrete balconies with glass guardrail parapets. The exterior wall specifications have already been developed and established. They are now coordinating the specification requirements for construction of the balconies in the project manual.
Which items are required to be specified as part of the balcony scope? (Check the four that apply)

• A. Floor finish coating
• B. Door types
• C. Furnishings
• D. Drainage
• E. Glazing system
• F. Guardrail anchoring

Answer: A,D,E,F

Explanation:
In NCARB ARE 5.0 PDD, balconies are considered part of the building envelope and exterior assembly, requiring coordination between structural, architectural, and sometimes MEP elements. The project manual's specification sections for balconies should include all components integral to the balcony's construction and performance - not unrelated furnishings or general door types unless they are directly part of the balcony system.
Reasoning for each selection:
A). Drainage - REQUIRED:
Balconies must include drainage provisions to prevent standing water, freeze-thaw damage, and leakage into units. This is part of Division 07 (Thermal and Moisture Protection) in the CSI MasterFormat and directly tied to durability and code requirements.
B). Floor finish coating - REQUIRED:
The balcony surface finish must be specified for slip resistance, durability, weather resistance, and integration with waterproofing membranes. This is usually in Division 09 (Finishes) but referenced in Division 07 for waterproof coatings.
E). Guardrail anchoring - REQUIRED:
Structural anchorage details for the glass guardrail parapets must be specified to meet IBC load requirements (200 lb concentrated load per IBC 1607.8) and to ensure safety. This falls under Division 05 (Metals) or Division 05/08 integration.
F). Glazing system - REQUIRED:
Glass guardrails involve tempered or laminated safety glazing per IBC Chapter 24 and must be specified, including thickness, type, finish, and installation method.
Why the others are excluded:
C). Furnishings - NOT REQUIRED: Balconies may have furniture, but these are FF&E, not part of the construction scope in the balcony specification.
D). Door types - NOT REQUIRED: Doors leading to balconies are part of the exterior wall fenestration package, not the balcony construction section.
NCARB PDD References:
ARE 5.0 Handbook - PDD Section: Integration of building systems and detailing of assemblies CSI MasterFormat Divisions 05, 07, 08, 09 for balcony scope items IBC 2018 Sections 1607.8, 1015 for guardrail design

 

NEW QUESTION # 78
In which of the following locations should wood building products be pressure treated when used in a climate that promotes decay? Check the four that apply.

• A. Wood doors in contact with thresholds
• B. Wood members in contact with masonry or concrete
• C. Wood window casing less than 24 inches above grade
• D. Wood members used in conjunction with roofing or flashing
• E. Wood members at grade, below grade, or less than 8 inches above grade
• F. Wood siding closer than 6 inches to exterior finish grade

Answer: B,C,E,F

Explanation:
The IBC and AWPA (American Wood Protection Association) standards require pressure treatment of wood in decay-prone climates when in contact with moisture-retaining materials (masonry/concrete), near grade, or within splash zones.
A: Moisture can wick from masonry/concrete into wood # decay risk.
B: Close proximity to soil promotes decay/insect activity.
D: Siding <6" above grade risks splashback and prolonged wetting.
E: Window casings <24" above grade are exposed to rain splash.
C: Roofing/flashing interface doesn't require PT unless actual contact with wet substrate is expected.
F: Doors with thresholds don't require PT unless the door bottom is wood in constant wetting.
PDD Reference: IBC §2304.11; ARE 5.0 PDD "Materials-Wood decay & termite resistance."

 

NEW QUESTION # 79

Refer to the exhibit.
An architect reviews the construction manager's construction estimate for a typical precast wall system with aluminum storefront windows.
Click on the component in the axonometric detail that is missing from the system estimate.

Answer:

Explanation:

Explanation:

1. Reviewing the Construction Estimate
The listed components are:
* Architectural Precast Panels - exterior cladding
* Aluminum Storefront Windows - glazing system
* Prefinished Metal Sill Flashing - weatherproofing at sill
* Sealant - for joints between components
No line item appears for thermal insulation.
2. Identifying the Missing Element in the Axonometric Detail
Looking at the drawing:
* The detail shows precast concrete panel cladding outside.
* A storefront frame and glazing in the opening.
* There is a hatched layer behind the precast in the stud cavity area - this represents continuous insulation.
* The insulation is a required component for the wall to meet energy code R-value/U-factor requirements (per IECC or ASHRAE 90.1).
3. Why This is Critical
* Insulation is essential for thermal performance, occupant comfort, and energy efficiency.
* Omitting it from the estimate could cause:
* Noncompliance with code.
* Incomplete cost budgeting.
* Change orders during construction.
* In ARE 5.0 PDD, architects must check that all components of an assembly are represented in the cost estimate.
4. References
* NCARB ARE 5.0 Handbook - PDD Content Area 3: Integration of Building Materials & Systems
* Architectural Graphic Standards - Precast wall sections with insulation
* Building Construction Illustrated (Ching) - Continuous insulation in wall assemblies
* Energy Code References: IECC Table C402.1.3 for minimum continuous insulation requirements in exterior walls

NEW QUESTION # 81
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.
The client wants to add rooftop access for residents. Roof access features include:
Adding a vegetated roof system
Installing an elevated paver patio system
Limiting access to 50 residents at any time
What should the architect do to accommodate this revision? Check the four that apply.

• A. Provide additional roof details
• B. Consult elevator manufacturer
• C. Consult structural engineer
• D. Provide an exterior exit stair
• E. Revise exterior elevations
• F. Contact civil engineer

Answer: A,C,D,E

Explanation:
Interpreting the Scenario
The owner is requesting rooftop access for residents, featuring a vegetated (green) roof, an elevated paver patio, and occupancy limited to 50 people. These revisions introduce new design requirements triggered by building codes (means of egress, structural loads, architectural representation) and coordination challenges across disciplines.
Why Each Selected Option is Required
* Revise Exterior Elevations
* The addition of a rooftop terrace and vegetated roof changes the building's exterior appearance- its massing, parapets, materials, and possibly guardrail heights. These design changes must be reflected in the architectural drawings used for permit issuance and construction.
* Provide an Exterior Exit Stair
* Under the International Building Code (IBC) and general egress requirements, an occupied rooftop (used by people for recreation or amenities) must be safely accessible and egressed.
Occupied roofs require a stairway-an exterior exit stair-rather than just a hatch or ladder ICC+6NYC+6The Building Code Forum+6NYC+4lapeyrestair.com+4NYC+4. This ensures the rooftop can serve as a legal means of egress.
* Provide Additional Roof Details
* Adding a vegetated roof system and a paver patio involves multiple layers (waterproofing, root barrier, drainage, structural substrate, pavers, possibly amenity loading, edge details, guardrails).
The project manual and construction documents must include these specific details to ensure proper assembly and water protection.
* Consult Structural Engineer
* Vegetated roofs and paver patios introduce significant dead loads (soil, plants, saturated weight) and live loads (maintenance personnel, occupants). The structure must be verified to support these loads. Per green roof design standards, structural capacity must be evaluated early in the design process NYC. Consulting the structural engineer ensures safety and code compliance.
Why Other Options Do Not Apply
* E. Consult elevator manufacturer
* There's no indication that elevator access is required or available. Current code triggers elevator access only in specific scenarios (e.g., occupant loads exceeding certain thresholds combined with accessibility requirements). This project doesn't suggest such a need.
* F. Contact civil engineer
* The rooftop change pertains to architectural detailing, structural capacity, and life safety-not site-wide civil issues like grading, stormwater, or utilities. While the vegetated roof may affect overall stormwater management, primary concerns still fall under architectural and structural domains. Typical ARE scope categories engage the geotech/environmental or landscape professional-not necessarily the civil engineer-unless broader site infrastructure is impacted.
