_____ _____ are high level principles.

• A. Best Practices
• B. High Level Concepts
• C. Core Standards
• D. Governing Rules

Answer: (A)

Best practices are high-level principles that guide how a project should be delivered to achieve optimal results. They embody widely accepted approaches and behaviors that, when applied, tend to improve value, quality, and efficiency in design-build. In practice, they’re expressed as guiding actions and decisions rather than strict rules. For example, early collaboration between design and construction teams, clear roles and responsibilities, and aligned incentives are common best practices that promote integration and reduce risk. The other terms refer to different kinds of guidance: high-level concepts are abstract ideas, core standards are mandatory requirements, and governing rules are formal regulations. So, best practices best fit the description of high-level principles.
