What does CMAA stand for?

• A. Construction Management Association of America
• B. Contract Management Association of America
• C. Constructability Management Association of America
• D. Construct Management Association of America

Answer: (A)

CMAA stands for Construction Management Association of America, formed from the initial letters of each word in that name. This is the recognized professional organization for construction management, reflecting its focus on standards, education, and certification for construction managers. The acronym comes directly from the words in the full name, so any option that changes words like Construction, Management, or America would no longer match CMAA. The other choices replace key terms (such as Contract, Constructability, or Construct) and thus would yield different acronyms, making them incorrect.
