Understanding Construction Drawings FROM THE PUBLISHER
Whether you are a carpenter, HVAC installer, electrician or general contractor, you must be able to understand construction drawings. Your ability to efficiently locate information in different parts of a drawing, and effectively cross-reference information between drawings, can mean the difference between a successful construction project or one plagued by costly mistakes and delays.
By starting with a simple residential building and progressing to an addition for a high school, Understanding Construction Drawings provides everything you need - including full-size drawings - helping readers understand and interpret construction drawings by working, hands-on, with actual prints.
