Requirement

Required Often forgotten

Make working drawings, list the materials you will need, then build it. Keep track of the time you spend and the cost of the materials.

Notes and warnings

Tip. Start the record when you start the drawings: the requirement asks you to keep track of the time you spend and the cost of the materials, which is hard to reconstruct afterwards.
