Are Constructions on paper 1 or paper 2?

I thought they were on Paper 2 but on the 2011 Project Maths Paper 1 (Phase 2) one of the very first questions asks you to construct a line segment of length root 3

That's technically not a construction, it's an application of arithmetic. Constructions are paper 2.

That's what i was thinking but i still didn't manage to draw all the construction lines needed for the marks even though i did construct a line segment of length root 3. It was a shneaky question.

Does anyone have a list of what topics are on paper 1 and paper 2?
