if site safety comes up you will be sorted. planning permission and design questions are dead handy and are really just common sense, you should be ok.

ah not to sure about that , my teach rung athlone and they said they will accept both but there will be deductions for the older drawings or something , it might be my teacher being a complete retard so take it with a pich of salt

he said that they have to use the new drawings as it is now law , and the Sec cant be seen accepting something that is not accepted under state law ....he said thats what he was told by athlone any way , he was very serious about it.

my teacher told us that we did not have to worry about the new measurements because to relearn them would be confusing after we had learned them all in fifth year and we herd about this mid 6th. im not doin new ones anyway. ill complain and kick up a fuss if anything stupid is done by the department.

Mallox

dam i got 173 for the old house

Seachmall

What size foundation was needed for Q1? I did 900x300 but is that right? Does it matter as long as the ratio is good?

I didn't do any study for that test but I did OK, I was expecting to get the U-value question out and go home but there were some nice qs on there (I did 1,4,5,6,8)

Damien671

^^^^^^^ Think it should be 1050 by 350
No site safety and I was ready for some sound insulation but ok other than that did anybody have difficulty fitting in the second drawin q ???

Yea the scale was 1 :10 not sketch it any size

Did anybody have trouble fitting it on their sheet

I found it difficult to fit into an A2 sheet because the roof pitch was so steep I had to place the central load bearing wall much closer to the external wall than the 3.5m specified in the question

What????A scale of 1:10 fits on a a4 page nah????

Damien671

3.5 metres half the house width divided by 10 is 35cm that will not fit on an A4 page
so i don't know what you did but you didnt scale it properly id say

thegibbo

Anyone know where to get the drawings online???
