Which takes precedence if a discrepancy is found in the structural blue prints?

  1. Building section.

  2. Section view.

  3. Detail drawings.

  4. Shop drawings.

The correct answer is: Shop drawings.

Shop drawings take precedence if a discrepancy is found in the structural blue prints. This is because these drawings are created specifically for the purpose of construction, and are approved by the architect or engineer. Building sections provide a general overview of the building, while section views and detail drawings focus on specific elements of the structure. While these drawings may also be used in construction, they do not hold as much weight as shop drawings in terms of resolving a discrepancy.
