Course Description

Our 36-hour Reading Plans and Specifications course is designed for individuals with some practical field experience in Construction, whether Residential or Light Commercial. In this course, you'll learn how to quickly interpret blueprints and the documentation required to do so correctly. You'll also learn about the specifications and scope of work documents. The course focuses on helping you to develop your interpretation skills — from a two-dimensional drawing to visualizing the finished three-dimensional project. You'll develop and learn to troubleshoot potential issues to prevent costly rework and mistakes. 

All course materials are included and accessible in the Brightspace (D2L) learning platform from your computer.

Note: Registration for this course closes two days before the course start date.
