During the submittal process, the architect returns shop drawings marked "REVISE AND RESUBMIT." What should the contractor do next?
Correct Answer
A) Work with the supplier to address comments and resubmit
When shop drawings are marked "REVISE AND RESUBMIT," the contractor must work with the supplier/fabricator to address the architect's comments, make necessary revisions, and resubmit for approval before proceeding with fabrication.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
When shop drawings are marked 'REVISE AND RESUBMIT,' it means the architect has identified specific issues that must be corrected before approval can be granted. The contractor's responsibility is to collaborate with the supplier or fabricator to address all the architect's comments and concerns. Once the revisions are made, the drawings must be resubmitted through the proper channels for re-review. No fabrication or construction work should proceed until the drawings receive proper approval.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option C: Request clarification from the owner
Proceeding with fabrication using original drawings that were marked for revision would violate the contract requirements and could result in non-conforming work that may need to be removed and replaced at the contractor's expense.
Option D: Proceed with fabrication using the original drawings
Submitting to a different supplier doesn't address the technical issues identified by the architect and would likely result in the same rejection, while also potentially violating contract requirements about approved suppliers.
Memory Technique
Think 'R&R' = 'Revise and Return' - you must fix it before moving forward, just like returning a rental car with damage.
