Construction Studies Section Detail (HL)…

Breakdown Of Exam Questions2001-2010

Mr.Joseph Lyster - Study Purposes Only


Question 1 is considered the traditional question of the exam paper.

It is COMPULSORY !!!!, meaning that you must attempt this question.

The question carries a weighting of 60 marks as with the other four questions to be attempted.

The question is devised to test your ability to draught technical section views of buildings.

This requires a range of skills from visualisation of the problem presented and the ability to graphically illustrate in technical measurement the proposed solution.

Building Section Detail: What is Question 1?


Content: The question covers alot of areas and there are infact up to

15-20 drawings (Combinations included) that could be asked of you.

Despite the volume of material to be covered in this question it serves to prepare you for other questions in the paper should you choose to attempt them. Learning such a volume of information gives you the opportunity to apply it elsewhere, with relevance.

Studying this area will set you on good ground to developing your understanding of general Construction detail, processes and techniques.

What is Question 1?


Content. SCALE: Apart from the development of graphical skills

you must learn to use scale! Scale is relatively simple and you do not have to learn

to use scale rulers, though it can be an asset, as they can be complicated to read.

Scale represents the resizing of actual real application dimensions so that you can accurately display them on your sheet to show the technical views correctly.

What is Question 1?


Content: The scale for the question will be indicated as below:

The scale indicated is generally 1:10 or 1:5 What does this mean?

What is Question 1?


Content: Scale 1:10, represents the initial unit 1 (Actual real size

measurement) is to be re-scaled to be a unit 10 times smaller (Scaled measurement).

Example: (In Millimetres)- Arithmetic Method 1000mm @ scale 1:10 = 100mm, this was achieved as follows:

1000÷10 = 100. Pictorial Example: Application

What is Question 1?


Content: DETAIL: It is vital that you detail your drawings with

the necessary and accurate information. Accurate detail must be printed neatly and using

correct positioning and arrow styles.

What is Question 1?


Content: The range of question typically involves as follows: (These can be mixed together) Foundation (as specified) External wall detail ( Block, timberframe, etc...) Door and door threshold Solid internal floor, suspended timber floor etc... Chimney detail etc... Window detail, sash, casement, etc... Roof Detail, eaves, etc... Internal stud detail, etc... Stairwell detail, etc... First-floor construction (Timber, concrete slab, etc...) Sceptic tank detail, etc... Manhole detail/Inspection Chamber, etc... Footpath and ramp detail, as part of accessibility and sustainable planning. Etc... These can be mixed and variations may apply with current practices.

Question 1:



This is the graphical solution you should provide to answer the question. (Detail is omitted from this view for clarity but you should put it in as shown in the next slide)




All of this information Should be printed neatlyOn the full solution as You are not required to Draw separate views unless Specified in the question. Also note that the measurements you detail must be the real size.So draw in scale and note in real !!
