    About this ebook

    This ebook is a selection of sketches appropriate to Year 1 study of Certificate, Diploma and BSc Degree courses.

    This material would generally be dealt with at lectures and would (ideally) be sketched under direction at tutorials from blackboard/other work.

    Each diagram has been devised, drafted and signed by the author, and is numbered for reference.

    Use your ebook reader Table of Contents to navigate around, add bookmarks and notes, and make it your own!

    In your quest for knowledge in respect of the construction of buildings, be enquiring, be thorough, be critical, and always be prepared to discuss. Train yourself to sketch clearly, with notes/specification attached. Remember that neat, proportioned freehand drawing is the most immediate method of representing an idea or communicating a detail. From now on, and through your career, somebody may have to rely on the quality of your drafted or e-transmitted constructional details.

    Do remember that this booklet does not represent a full course of study. It is but a selection of material abstracted from a larger syllabus body.

    Now that I’ve decided to cast this material outside the Tutorial Room, and based on my observations since I wrote the above introduction, I’m inclined to broaden the demographic, and to suggest that this material may be considered to be of use to the following:-

    Year 1 students of Certificate, Diploma and BSc construction-related courses
    Apprentice Carpenters
    Building Surveyors
    Architects
    Interior Architects
    Interior Designers
    Engineers
    Quantity Surveyors
    Property Professionals
    Other Construction Graduates
    Builders
    Lecturers

    In fact, it may be of use to anyone who wishes to know, or, by profession/occupation is required to know, something about the structure and fabric of the elements of a house.

    A touchscreen device is most useful for the rapid enlarging of a detail, especially to read the smaller notes on my BB Pics.

    George Byrnes

    George Byrnes lives in County Limerick, Ireland. This is his first book. His passions are gardening and Salmon fishing.George is a time served Carpenter & Joiner; this was essential to enable him to apply to the Department of Education for a place on the Woodwork Teacher Course (2 year, full-time, residential). Together with his 20 colleagues he qualified in ’66 and taught at this level for two years. In ’68, third level education in Ireland, outside of the Universities, was just beginning to kick off. He jumped at the opportunity and joined the very small team at the School of Building in Limerick, which was one of the constituent Schools which later collectively morphed into Limerick Institute of Technology. Initially he worked with the apprentice Carpenters and when the Construction Studies Courses began he was transferred/invited/directed to be an integral part of this new wave in education in Ireland. From then until he retired from LIT in ’06 he was directed to present the essential subject matter required in the construction of buildings ie Construction Technology/Building Regulations/Other (in Teacher Training College he became aware of the Building Regulations/England & Wales 1965, so he already had a head start).Through the ‘80s and into the ‘90s he was asked by the College Director to deliver seminars for professionals inthe Region in preparation for the introduction of the Irish National Building Regulations in ‘92.He was chosen to be part of the national team which delivered Building Regulations seminars to Local Authority Councils in Limerick, Cork and Dublin.He contributed to annual seminars organised by the CIF (Construction Industry Federation) for Construction Foremen; he dealt with the Building Regulations Module.For a number of years he was a visiting lecturer at the University of Limerick. His main work at UL was with the undergraduates on the Woodwork Teacher program (Technical Drawing/Plane and Solid Geometry).
