- A. "Reviewed for Code Compliance"
- B. "Approved as Noted"
- C. "Examined and Accepted"
- D. "Approved for Construction"
Correct Answer: A
IBC Section 107.3.1 requires that when a permit is issued, the construction documents be approved in writing or by stamp as "Reviewed for Code Compliance." One reviewed set is retained by the building official and the other is kept at the job site, open to inspection.

Sample 2 — Layout
Question: How many cubic feet are in one cubic yard?
- A. 36
- B. 9
- C. 27
- D. 18
Correct Answer: C
There are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard. To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide the total cubic feet by 27. This conversion is essential when calculating excavation volumes, as excavation costs are based on total cubic yards of earth to be removed.
Reference: Carpentry and Building Construction, Chapter 9 — Excavation Volume
Sample 3 — Walls
