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

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

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

Definitely B, they need site-specific docs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
