Remember:
Question 1 is compulsory, meaning that you must attempt the question in your exam.
The question is worth 60 marks, which is the same as the other four questions you must attempt.
Question 1 is designed to test your ability to draw technical section views of different components of buildings.

Labeling and Drafting:
All drawings in the exam are marked on labeling and drafting.
This means that you must always ensure neat and accurate drawing techniques at all times, as well as including neatly printed labeling for the components in the drawings.
Always use full size measurements when labeling, not the scaled measurements.
It is also vital that you detail (label) your drawings with the necessary and accurate information.
Where necessary, use coloured drafting pens to indicate key components (i.e. DPC, radon barrier, airtightness etc.)
Always remember to use the standard symbols and hatching when indicating the different materials in the drawing (i.e. concrete, blockwork, insulation, timber end grain, etc.)
Scale:
It's very important to remember to draft your drawing in the scale that is given to you in the question.
Don't worry though! Scale is relatively easy and so you do not need to learn how to use a scale ruler.
Scale is used in resizing the actual real dimensions so that you can accurately display them on your sheet.
The scale to be used will be indicated in the question:

Scale:
1 : 5 100mm = 20mm
1 : 10 100mm = 10mm
1 : 20 100mm = 5mm
1 : 5 100mm = 20mm
1 : 10 100mm = 10mm
1 : 20 100mm = 5mm
Always remember:
Despite the volume of material that is covered in Question 1, it serves to prepare you for many other questions in the exam.
Learning such a volume of information gives you the opportunity to use it with relevance in other questions
Studying the content involved in Question 1 will set you up well on the road to developing a strong understanding of general Construction detail, processes and techniques.
