About the examination

RBQ Contractor Licence — Project and Site Management (Quebec)

In Quebec, the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) requires general and specialized contractors to designate a qualified supervisor (répondant) in Project and Site Management (Gestion de projets et de chantier). Passing this exam demonstrates competency in site execution, tendering, legal contracts, and quality control.

ExamHub's free practice exam contains 200 comprehensive questions covering the Civil Code of Quebec, reading architectural and structural plans, BSDQ tendering rules, Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, concrete quality control, holdbacks, and environmental protection.

Sample questions from the bank — practice with the interactive module above for the complete 60-question timed exam simulation.

Question 1
A general contractor completes the construction of an industrial plant on September 1st. Under Article 2727 of the Civil Code of Quebec, what is the mandatory deadline to register a legal hypothec notice at the land registry?
  • Within 60 days after the end of the work, by registering a notice at the land registry.
  • Within 30 days following the end of the work, by registering a notice at the land registry.
  • Within 6 months after the end of the work, by registering a notice at the land registry.
  • Within 15 days after the end of the work, by registering a notice at the land registry.

Why: The legal hypothec subsists, even if not published, for the 30 days following the end of the work; it is preserved if a notice designating the immovable and stating the amount of the claim is registered before that period expires (art. 2727). The end of the work occurs when the work is performed and fit for its intended use (art. 2110).

Question 2
During the execution of a commercial project, a contractor notices a direct discrepancy: the architectural drawing specifies 12.7 mm gypsum drywall, but the written project specification mandates 15.9 mm Type X gypsum. According to standard contract rules of precedence, which document governs?
  • The architectural drawing takes precedence over the specifications, so 12.7 mm regular gypsum must be supplied.
  • The written specifications take precedence over the drawings, so 15.9 mm Type X gypsum must be supplied.
  • The more recent of the two documents prevails, so the contractor must rely on the date shown on each document.
  • The Construction Code prevails over the drawings and the specifications, so the minimum gypsum required by the Code must be installed.

Why: Under the CCDC 2 order of priority (GC 1.1.7), Division 1 and the technical specifications rank above the drawings; the 15.9 mm Type X gypsum of the specifications must therefore be supplied.

Question 3
An estimator calculates the concrete volume for continuous strip footings measuring 60 metres in total perimeter length, 0.50 metres in width, and 0.30 metres in thickness. What is the net volume of concrete required?
  • 18.0 cubic metres.
  • 9.0 cubic metres.
  • 12.5 cubic metres.
  • 6.0 cubic metres.

Why: Volume = Length * Width * Thickness = 60 m * 0.50 m * 0.30 m = 9.0 cubic metres (m3).

Question 4
In project planning and scheduling, what is the Critical Path (chemin critique) of a construction network diagram?
  • The sequence of tasks that contains the highest financial monetary budget allocation in the estimate.
  • The sequence of activities with the greatest safety risks, which must be monitored first.
  • The longest continuous sequence of dependent activities in the network, which dictates the shortest possible project completion duration.
  • The shortest sequence of activities in the network, which sets the minimum duration of the current phase.

Why: The critical path is the longest sequence of dependent activities from start to finish; any delay to an activity on the critical path directly delays the overall project completion date.

Question 5
In sustainable construction waste management, what is the hierarchical order of the 3R-V waste management principle?
  • Reduction at source, Reuse, Recycling, and Valorization / Recovery (with disposal as the last resort).
  • Recycling, Reduction at source, Reuse and Valorization (with disposal as the last resort).
  • Reuse, Reduction at source, Recycling and Valorization (with disposal as the last resort).
  • Reduction at source, Recycling, Valorization and Reuse (with disposal as the last resort).

Why: The 3R-V hierarchy prioritizes: 1. Reduction at source, 2. Reuse, 3. Recycling, and 4. Valorization (energy recovery/composting), with disposal (enfouissement) only as an ultimate last resort.

FAQ

RBQ Project and Site Management questions, answered

Who is required to pass the RBQ Project and Site Management examination?

Under the Building Act (CQLR c. B-1.1), any individual acting as the qualifying guarantor (répondant) in Project and Site Management (Gestion de projets et de chantier - GPC) for a general contractor or specialized contractor licence in Quebec must pass the RBQ exam, unless exempted by recognized equivalent education or credentials.

What is the format, duration, and passing score of the exam?

The official RBQ Project and Site Management examination lasts 3 hours (180 minutes), consists of multiple-choice questions with 4 options and a single correct answer, and requires a 60% passing mark. It is a closed-book examination with calculators and writing materials provided on-site.

What topics are covered in the Project and Site Management profile?

The exam evaluates 5 core competencies: Legislative & Regulatory Framework (C.c.Q. contracts, legal hypothecs, Building Act, CSTC, GCR), Reading Plans & Specs (MasterFormat, detail precedence, assemblies), Estimating & Tendering (BSDQ, take-offs, labor burden), Construction Management & Quality Control (CPM scheduling, WBS, inspections, holdbacks), and Sustainable Development Rules (3R-V, erosion control, hazardous waste, noise/dust).

What is the RBQ retake policy if a candidate fails?

In the event of failure or absence, candidates have 30 days from receiving notice to apply for a retake. If the retake is failed or the 30-day window is missed, a mandatory 4-month waiting period applies before reapplying.

What happens if the qualifying guarantor leaves the company?

The guarantor must inform the RBQ in writing without delay when ceasing to act (sec. 67), and the company's licence ceases to have effect 90 days after that date (120 days on death) unless another guarantor already manages the same field (sec. 73).
