Which of the following is a common type of project management that focuses on improvements to the roof or HVAC systems?

Focus on the building’s core infrastructure. Roofs and HVAC systems are part of the base building—the elements that serve the whole structure and are typically owned and maintained by the building owner. Upgrading or replacing these systems is treated as a base building construction project because it changes the essential, shared facilities of the building, not the tenant’s individual space. Tenant fit-out, by contrast, relates to interior work tailored to a specific tenant and doesn’t address the building-wide systems. Facility operations covers day-to-day maintenance and running of systems, not a major project to upgrade them. Capital budgeting is about deciding which projects to fund financially, not the type of project focused on a particular system. So improvements to the roof or HVAC are best described as base building construction.
