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.

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
C: a commissioned sculpture bolted to a wall
D: vending machines built into an opening
C: Base-bid specifications

designer can use the term or "approved equal".
, In a base-bid specification to ensure that any substitutions submitted are of equal quality and gives the
chance for the interior designer to review and approve any substitutions prior to being incorporated into
the bid.
In which type of construction specification is the term “approved equal” most likely to be used?
A: Performance specifications
B: Descriptive specifications
C: Base-bid specifications
D: Proprietary specifications
D: book match
Only book matching and slip matching refer to the ways individual veneer pieces can be laid up next to
each other. Of these two options, book matching is generally considered the preferred, most pleasing
match.
When specifying the method by which two veneer pieces are to be applied, the most pleasing result is
usually obtained with a:
A: random match
B: balance match
C: slip match
