ICC General Requirements Practice Exam

Whose role includes specifying testing frequencies?

1. General Contractor

2. Project Manager

3. Registered Design Professional

4. Site Supervisor

The correct answer is: Registered Design Professional

The role that includes specifying testing frequencies is that of the Registered Design Professional. This individual, often an architect or engineer, is crucial in the design and construction process and is responsible for ensuring that all elements of a project comply with applicable regulations and standards. As part of their responsibilities, they determine the necessary testing to verify that materials and systems meet the design intent and performance criteria. Specifying testing frequencies is essential for maintaining quality control throughout the construction process. The Registered Design Professional assesses the project requirements and establishes a frequency that reflects the complexity of the project and the nature of the materials used. This ensures that potential issues are identified early, thereby minimizing risks and enhancing the safety and reliability of the final structure. While other roles, such as the Project Manager or Site Supervisor, are involved in managing the project and overseeing day-to-day operations, they typically focus on implementation rather than the technical specifications for testing. The General Contractor is responsible for the construction activities but relies on the guidance and specifications provided by the Registered Design Professional regarding testing and compliance.
