However, in reading through the various wall types 2 thoughts struck me.
1. Do we really have to have 3 letters to identify an abbreviation. Can certain words be 1 or 2 letters, purely because of where they are in the description. I’m thinking of Ren & Pls for Render & Plaster respectively. These can only be on the finished side of a wall, so ‘R’ & ‘P’ will probably suffice, (and if anyone doesn’t know one is external and the other is internal, then maybe they should look to change profession )..
