Worked Example Files

Folders of worked example paperwork. The final folder also contains course exam papers and text books.

The worked examples are split into course years, with each providing a drawing for an aspect of a building, and a corresponding set of specifications and quantities. They are typed, in the majority of cases, however some are hand written, and include all calculations to demonstrate how quantities were calculated for inclusion in Bills of Quantities for issue to Contractors for tendering purposes and preparation of Final Accounts.
