IDPX PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSThis system is divided into the following three parts: General/Products/Execution?
a. CSI MasterFormat
b. Guide Specifications
c. Master Specifications
d. CPM System
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

a. performance specification
b. prescriptive specification
