About Course
Blueprints represent the foundation of construction design and facilitate the execution of that design into reality. Structural drawings show the layout of a building’s structural elements. Blueprints serve as a communication tool, ensuring that all parties involved, including architects, contractors, engineers, etc., are aligned on building and managing a construction project. Structural drawings focus on ensuring a building’s strength and stability and detailing the materials used to complete the project.
In this course, you’ll learn how to read Structural Blueprints and identify the abbreviations and symbols used to represent the different building elements. You’ll also learn the key components of structural drawings, including design and specifications, load-bearing elements, foundation details, floor and roof framing, wall details, safety and stability.
At the end of this course, you’ll easily read Structural Drawings as a construction project coordinator, manager, contractor, or other contributing party.
