Bridging takes considerable what two aspects?

• A. Time and Expense
• B. Money and Time
• C. Effort and Risk
• D. Cost and Schedule

Answer: (A)

Bridging requires additional upfront design effort and coordination to produce bridging documents that define the project at a level between concept and full design. That extra work takes time to complete and adds cost to the project, so the two most significant resources involved are time and expense. While there is some impact on risk and overall effort, the defining overhead of bridging is the extended schedule and the higher upfront design cost needed to create usable bridging documents for bidders and later design-build execution.
