About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a basic floor plan for a small house using a free CAD tool, including rooms, doors, windows, and an area statement showing the sizes of each space.

Why it's a good starter: This project is hands-on and beginner-friendly, focusing on essential drafting skills. You'll get comfortable with CAD software and learn how to represent real buildings digitally, without needing advanced maths or design experience.

What you'll learn: You'll learn how to set up a CAD workspace, draw walls and features, label rooms, calculate areas, and present your plan neatly. These are key skills for any civil engineering student starting out!

Milestones
1. Setup & Project Planning
10 marks 5d
Submit a short outline (1 page PDF) showing your house layout idea, with room list and rough sizes. Demonstrate you have installed LibreCAD and can open/save files. What done looks like: Clear plan, rooms listed, screenshot of LibreCAD running.
2. Drawing Main Structure
