Blueprint Reading
Course - March 25
COMBA and
Turner Construction are teaming up to present a four
hour basic blue print reading course.
The course will be held on two Thursdays
March 25 and April 1 from 6 to 8 pm at 1393 E. Broad
Street.
The Basic Blueprint Reading Course
will provide students with instruction that enables
them to understand the types of blueprints, shop
drawings and schematics used in the construction
field. Learning the basics of how a set of
blueprints are drawn by designers, trainees
discover how to interpret the different types of
presentation techniques used and representative
symbols found on construction drawings.
They'll learn to:
·
Define different
types of representative ratios (scales) used by
designers.
·
Understand the
challenge of first creating then reading
representative drawings of 3 dimensional buildings
presented in 2 dimensions on paper.
·
Practice
reading/converting the dimensions represented on the
drawings with architect’s and engineer’s scaled
rulers.
·
Identify the height,
width, and length dimensions shown.
·
Interpret the various
symbols and notations used on drawings.
·
Practice the
mathematical exercises of converting scale drawing
information into cost estimate take-off quantities.
·
Appreciate the
process of putting a complete construction bid
together.
The course
is a requirement for contractors to participate in
the 2010 Turner School of Construction Management.
The TSCM will begin held in late August 2010.
The 10-week class will provide real-world
experiences as it introduces participants to how to
manage a construction project.
