Building Technology: Project 1

Building Technology 2 :The Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The teaching objectives of the module are:

1. To develop an awareness of the role of working drawings in the construction industry through the applying the principles to the on-going design project and producing the whole set of floor plans, wall section and detailing of that.
2. To develop an understanding of working/submission drawing conventions and formats through application.
3. To develop an awareness of the general nature, principles and procedures of law and legislation, particularly the Uniform Building By-laws (UBBL).
