The abbreviation DOR corresponds to which term?

• A. Director of Records
• B. Designer of Record
• C. Documentation Object Repository
• D. Design Office Representative

Answer: (B)

DOR is Designer of Record, the party designated as responsible for the design documents and the design as implemented. This role holds accountability for the design intent, ensures the drawings and specifications meet applicable codes and project requirements, and coordinates design decisions across disciplines. In practice, the Designer of Record signs off on design documents and is the primary contact for design-related questions or changes that affect the project.

Other terms don’t fit because they aren’t standard AEC design roles. Director of Records isn’t a recognized design responsibility in this context, Documentation Object Repository is IT terminology, and Design Office Representative isn’t a common designation for the party accountable for the design.
