Candidates' Weakness

The following weaknesses were observed from candidates’ work:

  • Ability to use the correct conventional symbols to represent some building elements.
  • Some candidates used wide strip foundation instead of ordinary strip foundation.
  • Inability to construct the semi-circular arches.
  • Inability to dimension and label their drawings.
  • Poor knowledge and skills of simple geometric constructions.

To overcome these weaknesses, candidates should be well grounded in:

  • rudiments of technical or architectural drawing which include simple geometric construction of lines from a given point;
  • proper methods of dimensioning building drawings;
  • various lettering styles used in drawing.

In addition, candidates should be given ample building drawing assignments in order to enhance their flexibility in drawing.
