Understanding Floor Plans and Structural Drawings in Construction Trades

This module introduces students to the fundamentals of reading and interpreting blueprints, with a focus on floor plans. Students will learn about various types of structural drawings, such as foundation plans and elevation drawings, to understand building dimensions, door and window placements, and the relationship between different structural elements. Hands-on assignments will deepen their comprehension, helping them identify the components of buildings while understanding how blueprints relate to orthographic drawings. This foundational knowledge is essential for anyone entering the construction trades.
