Oregon Construction Contractors (CCB) Practice Test

In fast-track construction management, does the process begin after completion of the contract documents?

1. True, that is the standard procedure

2. True, but this method is generally slower

3. False, it begins before document completion

4. False, it can commence any time

The correct answer is: False, it begins before document completion

In fast-track construction management, the process is designed to expedite the overall project timeline by overlapping the design and construction phases. This means that construction work can begin before the complete contract documents are finalized. Starting construction prior to the completion of all design documents allows for faster project delivery, as it enables the contractor to begin early work, such as site preparation and the construction of certain elements while the remaining design work is being completed. This approach helps to mitigate potential delays and can significantly reduce the total construction time, making it a popular strategy for time-sensitive projects. The other considerations regarding the timing of the fast-track process highlight that the method specifically aims to begin construction ahead of completing all contractual documentation rather than adhering to the traditional sequence of completing documents first.
