About Building Construction
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
This page sits in the Building Construction Technology strand of Civil engineering and construction. The resources were made by GoConqr users and cover how buildings are drawn, planned and put together. Topics run from sites and foundations to floors, walls, windows, ceilings and roofs.
Where to start
Begin with the quizzes on drawings and information. Level 1 Unit 101 practice test asks about scales, block plans, hatchings and why symbols are used on drawings. Level 2-Unit 202 - practice test moves on to information sources and how to relay information to the workforce. Then try Principles of Building, which asks what shows location, repeated design information and timing.
Building up the detail
- The quiz on carrying out first fix frames, partitions and stairs looks at door frames, door linings and window fixings in masonry.
- The PDD Quiz V includes a question on insulation materials that also absorb sound.
- The Demolition note explains why demolition is complex and needs sound knowledge of legal procedures and methods.
- The Fundamentals of Building Constuction flashcards cover sustainability, LEED ratings, zoning and building codes.
Using quizzes and maps together
Take a quiz first and note what you miss. Then open a mind map on that topic, such as Foundations, Windows, Floors, Suspended ceilings or Off-Site Building systems; advantages, limitation and applications. Flashcards such as precast concrete piles help fix the key terms. Some resources mention the ARE, so professional candidates will find relevant practice too.
Choose one topic today, try its quiz, and see which map fills the gap.
Frequently asked questions
Which quiz should I try first?
Start with Level 1 Unit 101 practice test. It covers scales, block plans, hatchings and drawing symbols, which underpin the rest of the topic. Then move to Level 2-Unit 202 - practice test and Principles of Building before trying the more detailed quizzes on frames, insulation or materials.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps follow the building from the ground up. You will find maps on foundations, substructure, floors, walls, windows, partitions, suspended ceilings and waterproofing. Others cover off-site building systems, structural principles, and the stages of construction from inception to completion.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels and exams do these resources suit?
The mix is mainly university students and professional candidates, with a good share for school students. Some resources mention the ARE, and others mention Construction Studies. Check each title and its questions to see whether it matches your course before you rely on it.
What if I can't find my topic?
Look at the flashcard decks and notes as well as the quizzes, since the same topic may appear under a different title, such as Floors, upper floors or Slab Types. If it is still missing, you can build your own mind map or flashcards for it.
