This .system .is .divided .into .the .following .three .parts: .General/Products/Execution?
a. .CSI .MasterFormat
b. .Guide .Specifications
c. .Master .Specifications
d. .CPM .System .- .correct .answer.a. .CSI .MasterFormat
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 .- .correct .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.
On .which .drawing .would .you .find .the .abbreviations .NIC, .BRK, .FPL?
a. .millwork .elevation
b. .working .drawings
c. .power .plan
d. .lighting .plan .- .correct .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.
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 .- .correct .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:
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 .- .correct .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.
, 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 .- .correct .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:
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 .- .correct .answer.a. .section, .isometric
.view, .large-scale .plan .view
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
