For question 3 for today, how would you know to use exercise room vs assembly space without fixed seating factor? At my firm we calculate gyms with the assembly w/o fixed seating factor. Is that just and NCARB thing?

For question 4, I believe we multiply by the number of times we are going to install the material, since the costs are material and installation costs. So for example, I would just multiply the 1st one by 2 since we are installing it twice over the span of 25 years and not 1.6 (which is the 25/15 that was answered,)

I’m terrible with %, so for question 2 when multiplying the yearly 3% inflation, why was the multiplier 1.03 and not .03?

Thank you for the answer. I went back to the PA exam and NCARB asks “what is the maximum square footage” without the word allowable. I’m highlighting this because it’s the biggest difference between FAR and setbacks and every word in the NCARB questions matters, especially in PA.

you have to account that the second 3% is on top of the first 3% so you can’t just add

Not sure if you already answered, but have a question about #4.

You don’t need to add the second-time installation cost for the first 2 materials when you install the material after the first life expectancy period ended?
