A block is 215mm high and each course has a 10mm joint. How high are 4 courses of blockwork?

• 40mm

• 820mm

• 860mm

• 900mm

At what angle are isometric drawings produced at?

• 25

• 30

• 35

• 40

Isometric drawings provide what dimension of drawing?

• 1D

• 2D

• 3D

• 4D

Hatchings and symbols are used on construction drawings to:

• make copying the drawings easier

• help operatives who are sharing the drawings

• reduce the amount of written information

• meet local planning requirements

What is the difference between hatching and symbols?

• Hatchings identify item type and symbols indicate the material composition

• symbols identify item type and hatchings indicate the material composition

• hatchings indicate height and symbols indicate material composition

• symbols identify manufacturer and hatchings indicate the material

What should a site plan include?

• A north point/arrow, location and size of the new building(s), existing structures

• list of materials, a schedule of tasks to be done, the expected finish date

• close up details of the structure to be built, 3D drawings, information from the specification

• views of the structure from different angles, a list of materials, the height of hte ground above sea level

A 'General Location' drawing shows:

• where materials are stored on site

• where the site is in relation to its surroundings

• which operatives are working in your area

• where all recent planning applications are found

Which document is used in the construction industry to explain how a task or process should be carried out?

• The Risk Assessment

• The Job Profile

• The Method Statement

• The Task Activity Card

Work should be carried out in accordance with the schedule of works to:

• prevent insurance having to be extended

• comply with building regulations

• make sure the project is completed on time

• avoid the need to change risk assessments

A floor screed is made from

• hardwood

• a cementitious material

• textiles

• softwood
