CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 1

TEST 1

The area of question in this test is quite big since we were required to study foundations, roof, temporary works, concrete framed building and so on. Since there were so many topics come out in this test, the lecturer told us that the question will be easy and there will be a question about sketching a diagram.
In the end of this test, I can answer almost all the question since it is easy as what my lecturer does said.
