• C. Q-T-U-P-S-R
• D. Q-T-P-S-U-R

Hint:

NBC sequences always follow: inception → site studies → methodology → planning → contracting → commissioning.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

According to NBC 2016, the logical order of construction project development begins with Project Inception (Q), which establishes the overall project need and objectives.
The next step is Site Survey and Soil Investigation (T), necessary for understanding site conditions.
After site analysis, the Selection of Construction Methodology (U) is carried out to plan suitable construction techniques.
Then comes Resource Planning (P), which aligns manpower, materials, time, and cost planning.
This is followed by Tendering (S), in which bids are invited and contractors are selected.
Finally, after construction is completed, Commissioning and Handing Over (R) take place.
Thus, the correct NBC 2016 sequence is:
\[ \boxed{Q \rightarrow T \rightarrow U \rightarrow P \rightarrow S \rightarrow R} \]
