Reading Construction Documents (2 Day Course via Zoom)

Reading Construction Documents Part 1 & 2 (6 Hours, two 3-hour sessions)
January 27, 2027 & January 28, 2027, | 2:00PM – 5:00PM

Construction documents have a language of their own. This two-part course teaches it, from title blocks and sheet numbering to floor plans, elevations, sections, specialty plans and specifications, so you can find what you need and understand what the designer intended.

Ideal for new designers, apprentices, tradespeople, coordinators, estimators, specialty sales reps and anyone changing careers. Bluebeam® Revu software is used to display the drawings, but this is not Bluebeam training.

Who it’s for: anyone who needs to read and understand a full drawing set with confidence.

Learning objectives. You will be able to:

• Identify the parts of a drawing set and the industry standards that organize it.
• Navigate between plans, elevations, sections and details to follow a design intent.
• Read specialty plans (structural, MEP, civil) and know what each contributes.
• Locate material and construction requirements in the specifications and shop drawings.
