Totally with you on B, it’s the best option!

Malcom 10 months ago

Wait, why would D be a good idea? Seems risky.

Lenita 10 months ago

A is too basic, they need more than just the prototype.

Lenna 10 months ago

I think C makes more sense, original drawings plus specs.

Cletus 11 months ago

Definitely B, they need site-specific docs.

Antonio 11 months ago

I think they should definitely include specifications along with the drawings, so option C might be the right choice, but I’m not completely confident.

Marylyn 11 months ago

I’m a bit confused about whether the original prototype package is enough. I feel like the contractor needs more than just the original documents.

Jutta 11 months ago

I remember a practice question where we discussed the importance of tailoring documents to the specific site, so I feel like option B makes the most sense.

Brittani 12 months ago

I think the designer should provide the contractor with project/site-specific modified prototype construction documents, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best option.

Rebecka 12 months ago

Okay, got it. The designer needs to take the original prototype and adapt it for the new store locations, so option B is the correct answer.

Dierdre 12 months ago

I think the key here is that the client wants the designer to implement the design, so the designer should create project/site-specific construction documents based on the prototype.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Should the designer just send the original prototype package as received from the client, or modify it for the specific project site?

Kenia 1 year ago

This seems straightforward - the designer should issue the project/site-specific modified prototype construction documents to the contractor.

Haha, Option A? Really? That's like giving the client a blank canvas and saying 'Have at it!'

I see your point, Lavina. Including both the modified documents and specifications could ensure the contractor has all the necessary information for the project.

I think D is a bit too simple. The designer should put in the effort to make the necessary modifications.

But wouldn't it also be helpful to include project/site-specific specifications along with the original prototype drawings for clarity?

Option B seems like the way to go. The designer should modify the prototype to fit the specific site requirements.
