PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A site with an existing single-storey building the client intends to demolish.
Your task
Write setting out what retention or partial retention could offer, and what would need to be established.
What a useful response would show
Reuse proposed with a route to verification, not as an aspiration.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
