In the Pre-Con phase of Oversight, one should confirm what constitutes _____ _____?

• A. Design Brief
• B. Design Commitment
• C. Scope Boundary
• D. Project Boundaries

Answer: (B)

In the Pre-Con phase of Oversight, you’re establishing the binding promises that will guide the design work: the Design Commitment. This formal set of agreements details who is responsible for design decisions, the performance criteria the design must meet, key deliverables and milestones, how changes will be managed, and how acceptance will be determined. Having a clear Design Commitment keeps owner, design professionals, and builders aligned, creates accountability, and provides a measurable basis to assess progress and performance as the project moves forward. The other terms describe what will be designed or the limits of the work, rather than the commitments that govern how the design will be performed. A Design Brief outlines goals and constraints, not the enforceable obligations. Scope or Project Boundaries define the extents of work, not the specific commitments the design team makes about how to achieve the project goals.
