When you build something, you need detailed drawings to show you how everything should fit together. Without architectural knowledge, you may feel perplexed the first time you open a building plan. We've created a tutorial for deciphering architectural drawings. Imagine if you could understand the architect's ideas. Maybe you could start thinking like a civil engineer or even be in a builder's shoes when comprehending the roofs, floors, and other facilities' designs. Anyone who takes this class will learn the basics of reading construction drawings.
Understanding blueprints is vital to moving up in the construction industry. This knowledge will make you more valuable and give you access to new opportunities. This course makes this path easier by dividing the learning process into two modules. The first teaches you how to read house plans, and the second instructs you about architecture so you can understand planning ideas, measurements, and building designs.
You'll learn to interpret building designs at the end of these lectures, and grasp key structural elements using practical examples. You'll also be able to recognise well-designed columns. Study the foundations, like the plinth, beam shuttering, and slab reinforcements. By enrolling in and completing this course, you will gain knowledge with helpful software tools for calculations and analytics like Excel and ETABS. Plans are the backbone of the construction company. Do not miss the chance to gather knowledge that might gain you a promotion. Learn the plans, build your future, or even design your own house. The material also unpacks Vastu shastra, a traditional Indian system of architecture that has guidelines on spatial geometry, layout, space arrangement and more. Enrol now!
