3. 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.: 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.

4. 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.: Which of the following is generally NOT considered FF&E?

A: vertical blinds

B: wall-to-wall carpeting
