Reading and Interpreting Construction Drawings

Construction project managers need to be able to read construction drawings and plans accurately. This course covers plans, specifications, and construction/working drawings for reinforced concrete, steel, wood frame, and masonry construction, as well as for some mechanical and electrical construction. Topics include floor plans, elevations, sections, details, symbols, schedules, specifications, and abbreviations used in architectural and engineering drawings.

Note: Registering at least two weeks prior to the start of the course date is highly recommended. Popular classes fill up quickly and more specialized classes need sufficient enrollment.
