NASCLA Commercial General Building Contractor Practice Test

Answer choices

1. A. Verify that the door, frame, and hardware modifications remain consistent with the approved/listed assembly and project requirements before installation, for the required doors, windows, and glazing outcome.
2. B. Assume any field modification is acceptable if the hardware fits, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements.
3. C. Install the assembly and rely on the label alone without checking the modification, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, as configured.
4. D. Remove the rating label so the door is treated as unrated, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, in context.

Wrong-answer review

• B. Assume any field modification is acceptable if the hardware fits, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements.: Incorrect. Physical fit does not establish listed-assembly compliance.
• C. Install the assembly and rely on the label alone without checking the modification, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, as configured.: Incorrect. A label does not authorize unreviewed alterations.
• D. Remove the rating label so the door is treated as unrated, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, in context.: Incorrect. Removing a label does not make a required rated opening optional.

Answer choices

1. A. Use the program for permanent building wiring but omit temporary cord sets, within the documented operational, security, ownership, and validation requirements.
2. B. Simply tell employees that equipment is grounded and keep no program records, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements.
3. C. Test equipment only after an electrical shock occurs, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements.
4. D. Maintain the required written program and perform the specified continuity/grounding-conductor tests and inspections for covered equipment.

Answer choices

1. A. 1,872 pounds, within the metals context.
2. B. 88 pounds, within the described operational context.
3. C. 1,404 pounds, in context.
4. D. 18,720 pounds

Answer choices

1. A. Keep workers 2 feet away from the wall and leave it unbraced, as the primary implementation for the described business requirement.
2. B. Brace or otherwise support the wall to prevent overturning and collapse until permanent supporting elements are in place.
3. C. No bracing is needed until the wall reaches 15 feet, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, within this design.
4. D. Wet the wall to increase mortar weight and stability, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, for evaluation.

Answer choices

1. A. $140,000, as the organization’s selected response.
2. B. $200,000, for the stated requirement.
3. C. $80,000, for this task.
4. D. $120,000, under the documented operational and governance requirements.

Answer choices

1. A. Resolve the dimensional discrepancy and issue/approve corrected fabrication information before the storefront is manufactured, within the stated policy framework.
2. B. Tell the manufacturer to choose whichever dimension fits its standard product, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, within the described context.
3. C. Use the average of the field and drawing dimensions, within the documented operational, security, ownership, and validation requirements.
4. D. Fabricate to the drawing and trim the storefront in the field later, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, as selected.

Answer choices

1. A. Let the first trade installed keep the space and force the other trade to reroute without review, within organization-wide risk-and-accountability boundaries.
2. B. Move the sprinkler main because fire protection is always subordinate to HVAC routing, within the documented operational, security, ownership, and validation requirements.
3. C. Have both trades reduce their system sizes until they fit, as the primary implementation for the described business requirement.
4. D. Coordinate the conflict with the affected trades and design team and obtain an authorized routing solution before installation, as described.

Answer choices

1. A. Add surface water only after cracks become visible, within the documented operational, security, ownership, and validation requirements.
2. B. Replace curing requirements with a higher-strength mix after placement, under the documented operational and governance requirements.
3. C. Maintain curing for the specified method and duration unless an authorized technical change is approved, for the required operational result and control objective.
4. D. Stop curing once foot traffic leaves no visible mark, within the documented operational, security, ownership, and validation requirements, in context.

Answer choices

1. A. Install the finish first and decide on flashing after the first rain, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, for consideration.
2. B. Use interior caulk as the primary water-management layer, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, for the required outcome.
3. C. Install the required flashing/roof transition so water is prevented from entering the building, coordinating it with the membrane and wall system, for the described technical objective.
4. D. Omit the flashing because sealant alone is always equivalent, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, as proposed.

Answer choices
