Comment: When the building code is updated every few years, a line appears in the margin indicating that a change has been made from the previous version. I would like to suggest that the same thing be done to the modules so that when the new module comes out we can easily identify where the changes have occurred.

Comment: Note : Wall height is 1200mm in this question, so form ply is running horizontally. Waler bar formula. Multiply by 4 for sheets turned sideways not standing up, as there are only 4 (possibly 3 rows if compared to layout in theory module 020103eA page 5) rows depending on the lay out. Also change the snap ties descriptor above to read "4 (vert) rows of 5 ties per sheet"

Comment: Suggest rewording the caution box to read: “When installing the couplers, the nipple should be attached to the tool and the coupler to the hose. This prevents the hose from whipping around when it is detached from the tool and prevents the tool from being left pressurized and able to fire.” Also reword the answer to any related self-test question to match.

Comment: Many students get confused by the language in the "Tolerances" section of this page. Suggest simplifying it to the following: "It can be difficult to get a concrete surface truly flat so there is often a Tolerance or allowable variation from perfectly flat that is specified for each concrete pad or floor area. Some surfaces like movie studio and ice arena floors are required to be very flat (high tolerance) while carpeted floors or garage floors are allowed more variation in the surface (low tolerance). Tolerances for flatness are given in millimetres per thousand millimetres (example: 2:1000)
