This course is necessary for the individual with little or no experience in construction.

Blueprint reading is not terribly difficult but it does require practice and some basic knowledge of blueprints. The reading of construction blueprints is a foundational skill in construction. All construction professionals, regardless of whether they are working in the field or in the office, must know how to read blueprints.

***Participants should bring a scientific calculator.
