ASI stands for which term?

• A. Architectural Supplemental Information
• B. Architect and Supplemental Information
• C. Architectural System Information
• D. Administrative Supplemental Information

Answer: (B)

ASI describes materials issued by the architect that supplement the contract documents. It reflects both the architect’s formal input and additional clarifications or instructions that help interpret drawings and specs in the field. This combination of architect-provided information plus supplemental details is what the term conveys, making it the best fit for what ASI represents. The other phrasings don’t align with how this term is used: they imply content that is only architectural, only system-specific, or purely administrative, rather than the architect’s input plus accompanying supplemental information used to interpret and coordinate the design during construction. In practice, ASIs help resolve ambiguities and ensure the design intent is clearly understood on site.
