Description
This course will develop construction print reading skills required by entry level employees across the construction industry. Emphasis will be placed on print reading fundamentals, construction materials, project specifications, material take off, cost estimating, and the calculations and concepts associated with these tasks. Life of service, maintenance, structural ability, appearance, and cost will be covered using a range of materials, including four unique residential and commercial building plans.
Students will ultimately use these skills and plans to create a complete bid proposal project to be shared with the class. The class is designed for students entering the energy service fields of plumbing and heating.
