Architectural Specifications include which of the following?

• A. The scope includes Furniture and Accessories
• B. Structural engineering and site surveys
• C. Architectural finishes (flooring, wallcovering, paint, etc.), hardwired lighting, and millwork
• D. Landscaping and exterior cladding

Answer: (C)

Architectural specifications describe the built-in interior components and finishes that will be installed as part of the project and carry the installation and performance details. They typically cover interior finishes—flooring, wallcoverings, paint—along with fixed, hardwired lighting and millwork, which are integrated into the structure and require precise fabrication and installation guidance. Furniture and accessories fall under FF&E and are not part of architectural specifications. Structural engineering and site surveys belong to separate design disciplines, and landscaping and exterior cladding are exterior/site considerations, outside the interior architectural specifications.
