The Institute of Regional Development (Location: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President: Ichiro Aoyagi), a general incorporated foundation, will sequentially release the 'Grade 2 Construction Management Secondary Test: Past Questions and Explanations 2026 Edition' as a preparatory resource for the Construction Management Technical Skill Test, covering four categories: civil engineering, architecture, plumbing, and electrical work.
This book is an excerpt of the secondary test questions and explanations from the institute's comprehensive and highly-regarded 'Grade 2 Construction Management First and Second Test Problem and Explanation Collection 2026 Edition'. It contains past questions and detailed explanations by the institute, supporting candidates aiming to acquire the Grade 2 Construction Management Engineer qualification.
Sales are limited to the institute's official website and the book is not available in general or online bookstores. As an exception, an e-book version of the 'Grade 2 Architectural Construction Management Secondary Test: Past Questions and Explanations 2026 Edition' will be released and is scheduled to be available in early June on e-book stores such as Amazon Kindle, Rakuten Kobo, and Apple Books.
■ Fully Compliant with New 'Construction Experience Description' Questions
From fiscal year 2024, the format of the construction experience description questions in the secondary test has been revised to prevent answers not based on the candidate's own experience. This book is fully adapted to these changes for each category.
- Grade 2 Civil Engineering: The format has changed from selecting one management item to describing two provided management items (such as quality control, schedule management, etc.).
- Grade 2 Architectural: The format has shifted from describing one's own construction experience to answering based on a construction project overview provided in the question.
- Grade 2 Plumbing: The dedicated experience description section has been eliminated. However, descriptive skills are now tested in a choice-based question where candidates must describe precautions under given conditions.
- Grade 2 Electrical: Similar to architectural, the format has changed to describing a scenario based on a project overview provided in the question.
The book explains key points for achieving a high score using descriptive examples.
■ Abundant Diagrams and Detailed Explanations
Each question is accompanied by detailed explanations, allowing learners to progress without leaving questions unresolved. Diagrams are used effectively where necessary to promote understanding from various angles. The pages are in simple monochrome, allowing users to customize their books with notes and highlights.
