Explain the pre-1919 construction methods.

• Pre-1919 construction methods were primarily based on traditional craftsmanship and local materials.

• Pre-1919 construction methods relied heavily on modern technology and synthetic materials.

• Pre-1919 construction methods were focused on sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

• Pre-1919 construction methods were standardised and regulated by international building codes.

Describe the post-1919 and modern construction techniques.

• Post-1919 construction techniques focus on traditional methods, while modern techniques incorporate advanced technology.

• Both post-1919 and modern construction techniques rely heavily on manual labour.
