Question:
This system is divided into the following three parts: General/Products/Execution? a. CSI
MasterFormat b. Guide Specifications c. Master Specifications d. CPM System
Answer:
a. CSI MasterFormat
Question:
The organization of the technical sections has been standardized through the general adoption of
the MasterFormat system developed by the construction specifications institute to standardize the
numbering and format of project related information for use in specifying, cost estimating and data
filing. The masterFormat system establishes a standard way of organizing any particular
specification section. The first level of division within a section is the three part format. This
includes: 1. Part 1, General 2. Part 2, Products 3. Part 3, Execution All sections include three parts,
while the specific articles within the parts vary with the type of material or product being specified.
A schedule for construction drawings would be used to indicate all of the following except? a.
ceiling finishes b. wall finishes c. window treatment hardware d. types of doors
Answer:
c. window treatment hardware
Schedules show information in tabular format with rows and columns of data. They are used
because they are a very efficient way to communicate a large amount of complex information in a
small space. Common schedules for interior design construction drawings include room finish,
door, kitchen equipment, millwork, and hardware. Window treatment hardware is NOT part of
construction, while millwork hardware is.
Question:
On which drawing would you find the abbreviations NIC, BRK, FPL? a. millwork elevation b.
working drawings c. power plan d. lighting plan
Answer:
b. working drawings
on the floor plan, also called working drawings, you may see these abbreviations
,NIC: not in contract
BRK: break
FPL: fireplace
As abbreviations may vary, these should aslo be listed in the drawing legend.
Question:
When preexisting architectural drawings do not exist, who is responsible for measuring the site and
creating the architectural drawings needed for the schematic design phase? a. owner b. contractor c.
interior designer d. client is responsible for hiring architects to create drawings
Answer:
c. interior designer
In many cases, the interior designer has preexisting architectural drawings for the building in which
the designed interior space will be located. In other situations, no existing drawings may
exist, and the designer will have to measure and produce base drawings before schematic design
can begin.
All of the following are true about construction drawings EXCEPT:
Question:
a. must show technically correct ways of meeting the functional requirements of the design b.
represents the interior designer's final decisions concerning design, building methods, and
construction technology. c. must be coordinated with the specifications and the consultants'
drawings d. are not part of the contract documents
Answer:
d. are not part of the contract documents
one of the most important part of the contract documents is a set of construction drawings.
Question:
Under which division should the contractor be advised of the design requirements for sustainability
used by the architect and the rest of the design team in the preparation of the contract documents? a.
division 09 b. division 11 c. division 00 d. division 01
Answer:
d. division 01
, There are two main areas of a project's specifications where sustainability issues are addressed. The
first is in Division 01, General Requirements, and the second is in all of the individual technical
sections that cover specific materials and construction elements.
Some of the sepcification articles in the general Division 01 specification section may include the
following:
Question:
A summary of the environmental goals of the project and special requirements for the contractor.
This summary generally includes requirements addressing three areas: resource efficient materials
and systems, energy conservation, and indoor air quality. These goals may be as simple or complex
as warranted by the project or the goals of the client. If LEED certification is being sought, the
individual credits required by LEED may be used to develop a list of requirements. Which of the
following types of drawings might be used to illustrate a detail? a. section, isometric view,
large-scale plan view b. large scale partial elevation, section, perspective c. detail drawing, section,
perspective d. detail drawing, large scale plan view, perspective
Answer:
a. section, isometric view, large-scale plan view
Question:
The terms section and detail, as used in interior construction drawings are sometimes confused, this
is because many details are section cuts through small portions of construction. The term "section"
is also used on architectural drawings to refer to sections through entire buildings. However, not all
details are sections. A detail can also be a very large-scale plan view, isometric view, or a
large-scale partial elevation. Normally a detailed section is simply called a detail. To get the best
price for hardwood flooring you are specifying, but without sacrificing the quality of the material,
which of the following specifications would be the best to write in order to achieve both goals? a.
performance specification b. prescriptive specification c. proprietary specification d. base-bid
specification with "approved equal" language
Answer:
c. Write the specifications after the drawings are essentially complete.
Question:
The specifications should be outlined and begun while the drawings are being done. The
specifications writer and the job caption should be in constant contact while both documents are
being completed to minimize conflicts. What standardized system is generally used to organize
technical specifications? a. reference standard specification system b. Master specifications c.
TCSS - technical constructions specification system d. MasterFormat System
