Which statement about schedules is true?

• A. A schedule is used only for door and window assemblies
• B. A schedule is a list of specific types of components used in several places throughout the project
• C. A schedule is a narrative description of design intent
• D. A schedule is a list of permits required

Answer: (B)

Schedules on construction drawings are data-driven lists that specify the exact types of components used in several places across the project. This is the core purpose: to define, in one organized place, the products, sizes, ratings, quantities, and configurations used in multiple locations, so procurement and fabrication stay consistent and code-compliant. That’s why describing schedules as a list of specific types of components used throughout the project is the true statement. They aren’t limited to door and window assemblies, they aren’t narratives describing design intent, and they aren’t lists of permits required. For example, a door schedule would detail each door opening with its type, size, frame material, required hardware, fire rating, and glazing, while a window schedule would specify window types, sizes, frame materials, glazing, and ratings.
