Shop drawings are generated from design drawings.

• A. Not at all
• B. Sometimes
• C. Not specified
• D. Yes

Answer: (C)

Shop drawings translate design intent into fabrication and installation details, but whether they are generated strictly from design drawings varies by project and contract. They can be derived from the design drawings, but they may also incorporate field conditions, substitutions, or added details that aren’t present in the original drawings. Because the exact dependency isn’t universal and depends on project documents, the statement is not specified.
