NCARB Mock Exam
Mock question:
The principals of an architecture firm have recently noticed large differences in the sizes of construction drawing sets, by up to 40 sheets, for several projects of similar scope and size. They have asked the project manager to recommend construction drawing methodologies in order to properly size a typical set.
What methodologies should the project manager recommend? Check the three that apply.
| A. | Working in context |
| B. | Reduction of redundancy |
| C. | Default scheduling |
| D. | Referencing systems |
| E. | Instructional systems |
| F. | Terms and abbreviations |
CORRECT RESPONSES
Reduction of redundancy
Reduction of redundancy is an effort to manage the duplication of construction drawing elements. This will help in the efficiency of the drawings.
Default scheduling
Default scheduling is used to schedule building components that cover a majority of project conditions. This will reduce construction document sizes by allowing typical and repetitive items to be efficiently documented.
Instructional systems
Instructional systems are drawings and notes that graphically coach the contractor to an understanding of the documentation. These systems define defaults while identifying and documenting the exceptions. This reduces extra sheets in a set of documents.
