3 parts add up to one unit each

written exams 2 hours

assignments as homework

practicals, I spent 4 hours on test and inspection, far far far too long.

and 1 hour fault finding.

Me again, all question papers had to be returned after the exam, I could not find any past papers on the internet so I did my revision from the course notes on the C&G site.

Just remembered another question.

What types of building material could be encounted and what you need to make good after install, fire proporgation prevention, building pressure that sort of thing.

303
