This program teaches you how to read and interpret construction blueprints across every major discipline. You start with residential drawings and the fundamentals of how a full set of construction documents fits together, then move into mixed-use commercial projects like hotels, retail spaces, and parking structures. From there you dig into the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that bring a building to life, and finish with the structural drawings that hold everything up, from foundations and footings to steel framing and connections.
Along the way you learn to decipher the symbols, notes, scales, schedules, and technical details that make up professional construction documents, and you see how different plan sets connect for permitting and construction. The training is hands-on and built around real projects, taught online with live support from expert instructors at an accredited institution. By the end you can confidently navigate a complete set of drawings and apply that knowledge to estimating, project planning, coordination, and the day-to-day work that happens in the field, with an industry-recognized certificate to show for it.
