Building Jargon

I thought it was about time that I started to learn some French technical terms. I started to scratch around in the English/French dictionaries scattered around in the house but sadly found that common building terms such as damp proof course and chipboard just can't be found. Using on-line translation sites was equally frustrating. So I have compiled a list of sites that covers the majority of the words that I expect to come across.
