an entry door?
A. door schedule
B. finish schedule
C. hardware schedule
D. finish plan
A: 'I' should be used for interior design sheets when an architect's drawings are included
as part of the drawing set
'I' is most commonly used when architectural drawings are also included in a drawing
set, as a means to easily distinguish between architectural and interiors work. -
Answers- When would be most appropriate for an interior designer to use the prefix
letter 'I' when numbering a set of construction drawings?
A: 'I' should be used for interior design sheets when an architect's drawings are included
as part of the drawing set
B: 'I' should be used for small interior design projects only
C: 'I' should never be used; the letter 'A' should always be used for any sheets
pertaining to either architectural or interior design
D: 'I' should always be used for all interior design sheets in a drawing set
B: List the information in a proprietary specification.
A proprietary specification calls out one single item by brand name, manufacturer, and
model number.
Proprietary specifications are the most restrictive as they give the interior designer
complete control over what is to be installed in a project. Sometimes the specifications
include an "or equal" clause (referred to as a "base-bid specification"), which means the
substitution of other products will be allowed if the contractor thinks they are equal to
the one specified.
With a proprietary specification, the interior designer can also require that a sample be
submitted to further verify that the item meets the project needs, but requesting a
sample alone is not the best way. - Answers- What is the best way for an interior
designer to ensure that the exact product desired will be used in the final design?
A: Require that the contractor submit samples of all items before purchasing.
B: List the information in a proprietary specification.
C: Show the configuration of the product on the drawings, and call it out specifically.
D: Write a closed, descriptive specification.
B: wall-to-wall carpeting
,Carpeting is a finish item (like paint or ceiling tile) that is attached to the construction
and is typically part of the construction contract. Even though a sculpture is physically
attached to the construction, it is commissioned directly with the artist and may be
included in the FF&E budget. Vertical blinds are sometimes included in the construction
contract but not as commonly as wall-to- wall carpeting is. Vending machines can also
be part of a construction contract, but if there is both a construction and FF&E contract,
they are usually part of FF&E. Although all four of the items mentioned may be part of
either contract as the client wishes, the question asks which is generally not. -
Answers- Which of the following is generally NOT considered FF&E?
A: vertical blinds
B: wall-to-wall carpeting
C: a commissioned sculpture bolted to a wall
D: vending machines built into an opening
C: Base-bid specifications
D. are not part of the contract documents - Answers- All of the following are true about
construction drawings EXCEPT?
A. must show the 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 consultant's drawings
D. are not part of the contract documents
IV
Resilient channels are used to improve the acoustical properties of a wall by isolating
the wallboard from rigid attachment to the framing. Insulation is also placed in the stud
cavities to improve the acoustical quality of the partition.
For the best STC ratings in a healthcare facility, the interior designer should
accommodate for a wall thickness that includes resilient channels.
Option I shows a typical partition with one layer of gypsum on each side, which could
work but likely wouldn't meet the patient privacy guidelines for a clinic setting.
Option II shows gypsum board on only one side of the partition and an unfinished face
on the other.
Option III would work if the exam rooms weren't back-to-back as what was mentioned in
the question since only one side has two layers of gypsum board.
Option IV gives the best acoustical separation between the exam rooms because of the
inclusion of resilient channel - Answers- While designing a clinic, the interior designer
,has discovered the extensive requirements for patient privacy in a healthcare
facility.Which of the following partitions is the BEST to incorporate into the design for a
block of back-to-back exam rooms?
I
II
III
IV
D. building owner
A base-bid specification calls out a proprietary material or product but allows
substitutions. An interior designer can use the term or "approved equal".
In a base-bid specification to ensure that any substitutions submitted are of equal
quality and gives the chance for the interior designer to review and approve any
substitutions prior to being incorporated into the bid. - Answers- In which type of
construction specification is the term "approved equal" most likely to be used?
A: Performance specifications
B: Descriptive specifications
C: Base-bid specifications
D: Proprietary specifications
D: book match
Only book matching and slip matching refer to the ways individual veneer pieces can be
laid up next to each other. Of these two options, book matching is generally considered
the preferred, most pleasing match. - Answers- When specifying the method by which
two veneer pieces are to be applied, the most pleasing result is usually obtained with a:
A: random match
B: balance match
C: slip match
D: book match
Millwork section - Answers- What type of drawing is shown in this image?
C: The contractor may propose a substitution, but it must be approved by the interior
designer.
Both the interior designer and client must agree to the use of a contractor-selected
product.
The alternate product must be reviewed and approved by the interior designer, not just
the contractor. The intent of the "or approved equal" language is to permit equal
products, although sometimes the alternate does turn out to be better than the one
specified. - Answers- What does the phrase "or approved equal" mean in a
specification?
, A: The client must agree to the use of a product selected by the contractor.
B: The interior designer and client can permit the substitution of an alternate product if
they feel it is better than the one specified.
C: The contractor may propose a substitution, but it must be approved by the interior
designer.
D: An alternate product may be bid on by the contractor if he or she is sure it provides
the same quality as the product specified.
C. guide specifications and Master specifications
Because it is difficult to write a complete, accurate, up-to-date specification of any type
and most projects require many specifications, the majority of offices use Master
specifications.
Master specifications or guide specifications are pre written specifications that cover
nearly all types of products, method of installation, and other variables that relate to a
specific product or construction activity. - Answers- Which type of specifications used by
most design firms, are pre written specifications that cover nearly all types of products,
methods of installation, and other variables that relate to a specific product or
construction activity?
A. industry specifications and reference specifications
B. guide specifications and reference specifications
C. guide specifications and Master specifications
D. base-bid specifications

interior designer should verify if any particular types of lighting fixtures are required by
coordinating with the
A. contractor
B. electrical engineer
C. architect
D. building owner
D. switch locations
Because the interior designer coordinates switch locations with furniture placement,
they are the best answer. The interior designer would not determine conduit size or
dedicated outlets. Speaker locations would be shown on the reflected ceiling plan. -
Answers- In working with an electrical engineer on a project, what information would the
designer most likely put on the interior design power plan?
A. dedicated outlets
B. conduit sizing
C. speaker locations
D. switch locations
