In the Facility Life Cycle, which stage follows Procurement?

• A. Construction
• B. Facility Management
• C. Project Conception
• D. Design

Answer: (A)

The sequence being tested is the order of activities in the Facility Life Cycle. After procurement, where contracts are finalized and the needed resources, materials, and subcontractors are lined up, the project moves into construction. This is the phase where the design intent is physically realized on the site—erecting the structure, installing systems, and completing the building. Design and project conception come earlier in the cycle, while facility management occurs after occupancy and ongoing use. So construction is the stage that follows procurement.
