For classes in Blueprint Reading and Architectural Drafting and Design.
Based on the author's extensive practical experience in construction as a crew member in the field as well as a contractor and professional estimator, this text covers the whole spectrum of construction blueprint reading-from what a blueprint is to how to make use of a set of plans. It teaches the proper meaning of the construction symbols, abbreviations, and keynotes common to construction for all trades; the difference in the plan groups and how they are applied to a project; how to associate plans, sections, and details on blueprints to get a better understanding of the object(s) noted; and how to determine the coordination of the plans and how to reference the plans to each other.
