Plan Reading

Catalog description

This course takes you on a journey of exploration and discovery about the key legal instruments (i.e. drawings, specifications, and other documents) utilized in design and construction processes. The journey explores two main questions. First, how does the architectural and engineering team effectively communicate the design so it can be built? And second, how does the contractor effectively understand and question what has been communicated? Your increased ability to read, analyze, and interpret construction documents prepares you to enter the work force with the ability to contribute in meaningful ways.
