For optimum performance, the architectural draftsperson must have a
comprehensive understanding of architecturally designed buildings, as well
the ability to utilize modern day technology in performance tasks. This
course puts into perspective the architectural whole. It focuses on the
integration of Architectural Design, Planning and Detailing within a single
structure. It also integrates the knowledge areas of Structure, Materials and
Services. Knowledge is expanded through the area of commercial
architecture. The student is taken from a tangible base involving the analysis
of built structure, to the more abstract thinking of the design world.
Technology is applied in developing three dimensional thinking; as an avenue

CARP1113 Carpentry for Building Maintenance 1
120 6
In the context of this course of study,
external carpentry can be defined as
fixtures that are made of wood that are
found on the outside of a building. These
would normally require maintenance by a
carpenter and would include wooden
gates, sheds, wooden fences, roofs,
window sills, stairs, wooden patios, etc.
As with internal carpentry, however,
external carpentry does not include
furniture which, although often made of
wood, is not part of Cabinet Making
because furniture generally is not fixed to
the structure.
In this study component we will look at
External Carpentry, as it relates to roof
construction and its maintenance – roofs,
roof coverings and guttering and other
roof fittings, such as, Barge boards, Soffits
S.J.P.I
SJPICDILO 061117 Updating in progress Page 284
and Face boards. These tasks can be
carried out by individuals who possess
basic carpentry skills with the aid of hand
and power tools. To maintain the
structures mentioned, the
craftsman needs to be knowledgeable of
wood and construction methods, and be
able to work with rafters, and other
carpentry details which relate to roof
construction and maintenance.
In this context, therefore, maintenance
refers to the repair and upkeep of the
external wooden structures of a building
to ensure that they serve their original
function. It may also include the
replacement of some or all of these
elements.

rather to identify common problems
which can occur in and around our homes
and businesses and the steps that are
