Start with the advice and links on the School Project Forum Introduction and come back to us if you've a more specific question.

Also try looking at Some of the past replies in the Building Block forum (go to the forum, set the menu to show all topics and look at anything with more than a couple of replies. Most will give you some idea but be careful not to confuse the medieval techiques with the modern ones)

The book "Castle" by David Macaulay is centered on exactly this topic, look for it at your local library, it's an interesting quick read and will tell you what you need to know.
