Which of the following are provided to the owner at the completion of a fire alarm installation?

• A. Shop drawings
• B. Record drawings
• C. Riser diagrams
• D. Equipment list

Answer: (B)

Record drawings, the as-built documentation, are provided to the owner when the fire alarm system is completed. They capture the exact installation as it was actually built, including all field changes to device locations, wiring routes, and circuiting. This gives maintenance teams a precise reference for testing, servicing, and future modifications, ensuring any future work aligns with what is installed. Shop drawings are preconstruction submittals used for design and fabrication approval and reflect intended details before work is done. Riser diagrams show the vertical routing of cables and devices through building spaces, helping understand how the system is organized but not necessarily the final installed configuration. An equipment list catalogs what was installed, but without the actual as-built layout and connections, it isn’t enough for ongoing operation.
