8:1: The "No-Fines" system consist of concrete sections made on site by pouring course aggregate, hence the name "No-Fines", through wooden shuttering placed on a concrete base.

8:2:1: The outside walls are finished with a pebble-dash rendering.

8:2:2: The inside walls are fitted with plasterboard.

8:3:1: This system was quick and relatively cheap to build.

8:3:2: It did not need skilled labour and did not require factory produced load bearing sections.

8:3:3: Unskilled labour and lack of factory built material could have led to poor quality control that is now causing the problems of; cracks in wall rendering, poorly fitting windows, doors and condensation.

8:4: The properties are heated by a gas fired ducted air system, now believed obsolete, downstairs. There is no heating upstairs.

8:5: Most properties have aluminium framed single glazed windows which have a sliding section.

8:6: The properties were installed with the basic level of services i.e. gas, electric, water and a sewage system.

8:7:1: The front and back doors are constructed of a wooden frame with a glazed top half and a wooden panelled bottom half which is held in with wooden beading. A few doors have a glazed bottom half instead of the wooden panel. See appendix 7:2.

8:7:2: The doors are fitted with a single 3 lever mortise lock.

8:8: See appendix 16:1:A regarding concrete.

8:9: The construction is described in more detail in relation to the heat loss of the properties in the appendix, reference 3:1 to 3:6 and 4:1 to 4:10.
