PRACTICE PROMPT
Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.
The setting
A client asking whether the building could be one storey taller.
Your task
Write setting out what would change structurally and what would need re-checking.
What a useful response would show
A clear list of consequences, and what cannot be answered without more work.
Reflect afterwards
- What assumption mattered most?
- What would you check before using this on a real project?
- Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
