Construction Blueprint Reading
This nine-week training course will teach a person how to read, interpret, visualize and execute the construction drawings and specifications efficiently and effectively. This class replaces the basic and advanced blueprint reading courses. It is designed for those persons with very little experience in blueprint reading, as well as someone who has experience and is looking to improve on their skills. The class will focus on the trade specific work of each student, as well as teach an understanding of the other trades and how Blueprint Reading for all the trades is related. An actual set of plans and specifications from a building constructed in Lincoln, NE is used to teach the class using real world examples. Students are invited to ask questions and discuss topics covered in the class and how the topics relate to their own specific projects and experiences. After completion of this class, the student will be able to quickly track down information in the plans and specifications to answer any questions they might have on the construction of a project.
