TCFP Plans Examiner Practice Test

Which item would likely NOT be found in a working drawing during architectural plans review?

1. Government regulatory agency

2. Police agencies

3. Contractor

4. Both A and C are correct

The correct answer is: Both A and C are correct

In a working drawing during an architectural plans review, certain entities play more prominent roles than others. The correct response points to entities that typically do not appear in the specifications of working drawings. A working drawing primarily focuses on the details necessary for construction, including dimensions, materials, and assemblies. While it may contain information about contractors in terms of construction details and material specifications, they are not the focus of the working drawings themselves. Therefore, the contractor is not a conventional element found directly within these drawings, but rather may be involved in the planning or execution stages. Government regulatory agencies may be referenced in context to regulatory compliance or requirements, but they are not typically detailed within the working drawings. Their involvement is more about oversight and ensuring adherence to local codes and regulations rather than being included as a component of the architectural plans themselves. By stating that both the government regulatory agency and the contractor are likely not found in the actual working drawings, this choice accurately reflects the nature of what architectural plans encompass. Thus, the understanding that these elements do not need to be visibly included in working drawings reinforces the distinction between those who regulate and oversee versus those who physically construct the project.
