Learn highly sought after skills, and elevate yourself as an employable candidate in the construction trade by learning Construction Docs and Floor Plans.
A construction plan shows what you intend to build and what it will look like when you complete it. There are a variety of names for construction plans: blueprints, drawings, working drawings, and house plans. To the uninitiated, construction plans, with their many unusual symbols, can be daunting. As with any complex document, construction plans require skill to decipher. We teach you how to create these plans and how to incorporate the right codes to ensure you're communicating effectively with other teams on the building site.
Our program covers all the different types of construction plans, including examples, samples, helpful templates, checklists, and worksheets. We teach you how to get started with construction docs and discuss construction safety and quality plans. You’ll be a pro in under 12 months, we will show you the way.
You will learn about designing floorplans that include everything the interior designer needs to add their part, such as scale, window, door sizes, address, and north arrows.

Not to mention, you'll also need to learn about electrical plans and layouts so the designer can carefully convey where to put different fixtures and lights.
