Iran Nezam Architecture Supervision Exam study plan

Iran Nezam Architecture Supervision Exam · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Architectural Design and Planning & Building Regulations, Codes, and Standards

  • Map the full domain weight table to a personal scorecard, then rank domains by weight times self-assessed weakness

  • Reconstruct the zoning and floor-area-ratio rules for residential vs commercial occupancy from memory, then verify against the national building code text

  • Solve 15 design-and-code scenario items on setbacks, occupancy classification, and permitted building height, logging every error with its root cause

  • Draft a one-page checklist linking each design decision point to the code article that governs it

Your checkpoint

A one-page weighted study scorecard plus a 15-item error log with root causes for Domains 1 and 6

Week 2

Architectural Design and Planning & Building Regulations, Codes, and Standards

  • Produce dimensioned schematic plans for a mid-rise residential block that satisfy egress travel distance, exit width, and stair enclosure rules

  • Compare fire-compartment area limits and separation requirements across occupancy groups and tabulate the differences

  • Explain accessibility and vertical circulation requirements for a public building in writing, citing clause numbers

  • Complete 20 timed mixed items on design planning and code compliance at 90 seconds per item

Your checkpoint

A dimensioned schematic plan set with a code-compliance annotation table covering egress, compartmentation, and accessibility

Week 3

Building Construction and Structural Systems & Materials and Building Components

  • Trace gravity and lateral load paths from slab to footing for a framed structure and sketch each transfer

  • Compute tributary loads and size a simple beam and column using allowable stress checks with stated assumptions

  • Classify structural systems (moment frame, braced frame, shear wall, flat slab) and match each to its height and ductility limits

  • Build a material property table for concrete grades, rebar types, structural steel sections, and masonry units with their test standards

Your checkpoint

A load-path diagram set plus a solved beam-and-column sizing sheet and material property table

Week 4

Building Construction and Structural Systems & Materials and Building Components

  • Diagnose 10 common construction defects (cold joints, honeycombing, rebar cover loss, efflorescence, shrinkage cracking) and prescribe the inspection method that catches each

  • Specify acceptance criteria and sampling frequency for concrete placement, compaction, curing, and rebar placement

  • Compare finishes and cladding systems on durability, fire reaction, and maintenance, and select one per building zone with justification

  • Complete 25 timed items on structures and materials at 75 seconds per item

Your checkpoint

A defect-diagnosis matrix of 10 cases with inspection method, acceptance criterion, and corrective action for each

Week 5

Construction Supervision and Site Management & Building Services (Mechanical and Electrical)

  • Sequence a site supervision workflow from submittal review through inspection, nonconformance report, and closeout

  • Draft a daily site report and a nonconformance notice that would survive a contractual dispute

  • Size mechanical services conceptually: estimate ventilation airflow, heating and cooling loads, and duct and pipe routing space for a given floor plate

  • Lay out electrical risers, panel locations, earthing, and lighting levels, and check coordination clashes against structural and architectural drawings

  • Complete 20 timed items on supervision and building services

Your checkpoint

A supervision package containing a sequencing flowchart, one model daily report, one nonconformance notice, and a coordinated MEP space-allocation sketch

Week 6

Contracts, Legal Responsibilities, and Professional Ethics & Construction Supervision and Site Management

  • Compare contract types and standard conditions on scope variation, delay, payment certification, and dispute resolution

  • Define the supervisor's authority limits and liability exposure, distinguishing approval from certification duties

  • Resolve 8 ethics scenarios on conflict of interest, undisclosed substitution of materials, and signing off uninspected work

  • Write a variation order and a delay claim assessment with the evidence each requires

Your checkpoint

A contract-and-ethics casebook of 8 resolved scenarios plus one drafted variation order and one delay assessment

Week 7

Safety, Health, and Environmental Requirements & Quantity Surveying, Cost Estimation, and Documentation

  • Build a site safety plan outline covering excavation shoring, fall protection, scaffolding, hot work, and emergency response

  • Identify environmental controls for dust, noise, runoff, and waste segregation and match each to its regulatory trigger

  • Take off quantities for a small building from drawings: concrete, formwork, rebar, masonry, and finishes

  • Produce a priced estimate with labor, material, equipment, and overhead rates, then reconcile it against a second method

  • Assemble a documentation checklist for as-built drawings, test certificates, and handover records

Your checkpoint

A quantity takeoff and priced estimate for a small building, reconciled against a second method, with a safety plan outline and handover checklist

Week 8

Architectural Design and Planning & Building Construction and Structural Systems & Construction Supervision and Site Management & Building Regulations, Codes, and Standards & Contracts, Legal Responsibilities, and Professional Ethics

  • Sit two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and score them by domain

  • Re-drill every missed item from Weeks 1 through 7 until each is answered correctly twice in a row

  • Compress each domain into a single recall sheet of formulas, clause numbers, and decision rules

  • Rehearse the highest-weight domains last, 48 hours before the exam, at a light review pace

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock exams with a domain-by-domain trend chart and nine one-page recall sheets

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70 percent on a 30-item mixed set drawn from Domains 1 and 6, and show a written code citation for every design decision in the schematic plan set

Week 4: Score at least 70 percent on a 40-item set from Domains 2 and 3, and correctly diagnose at least 8 of 10 defects with the right inspection method

Week 6: Score at least 65 percent on a 40-item set from Domains 5 and 7, and defend each of the 8 ethics resolutions in writing against the applicable duty

Week 8: Score at least 75 percent overall on both full-length mocks with no single domain below 60 percent, and complete all nine recall sheets
