Basic Blueprint Reading – Online

SPACE IS LIMITED TO 25 ATTENDEES

The intent of this Virtual Basic Blueprint Reading course is to give attendees skills necessary to gain an initial understanding of construction documents and familiarize them with what to expect when reviewing drawings. This includes a general familiarization with not only the architectural scope, but site / civil & all mechanical trades as well. We will also discuss the importance of project specifications and other related items that are part of a complete set of contract documents. For those of you who are interested, we will follow up with an advanced course spending more time with actual drawings – Please keep in mind that this is an introductory overview designed to increase the participants’ confidence in comprehending the subject matter! Participation is encouraged and having interactive discussion will be an important piece of the course.
