This specially designed Advanced AutoCAD for Construction Professionals training program from Imperial Corporate Training Institute is tailored to those working in construction who wish to advance to a higher level of advanced capabilities when using technical drawings. The goal of Advanced AutoCAD is to improve your ability to generate highly precise CAD drafting outputs, as well as to read and interpret complex project models, while producing accurate technical drawings that facilitate on-site construction operations. This course will assist construction professionals in solving design conflicts, reducing errors, and providing better cross-discipline coordination through detailed digital drafting.
Through extensive hands-on training, this advanced course will allow participants to develop the skills to use AutoCAD’s advanced features, such as dynamic blocks, parametric constraints, productivity tools, advanced layer management, and data extraction techniques. Regardless of whether participants are working in design, project management, cost estimation, document generation, or project execution, they will have increased confidence in producing and managing drawings that comply with the professional construction industry standard. The course is structured with a focus on hands-on practice, allowing attendees to learn best practices and advanced workflows that help optimize project accuracy, improve communication and enhance overall project execution.
Objectives
By the end of the Advanced AutoCAD for Construction Professionals Training Course, participants will be able to:
- Use advanced CAD drafting techniques to create precise construction documents.
- Create detailed technical drawings to aid architectural, structural, MEP, and site-related decisions.
- Use dynamic blocks to reduce duplication of drafting tasks and increase project productivity.
- Use multiple layers and/or a standardised way of managing drawing consistency.
- Use parametric design tools to control how geometries relate to each other, and to reduce errors when drafting.
- Extract project information from drawings to support material take-off and estimation for construction documentation.
- Enhance navigation and communication between multidisciplinary teams through improved drawing format.
- Make accurate drawings from existing AutoCAD drawings with professional confidence and accuracy.
- Use keyboard shortcuts, tool palettes, and automation tools to improve drafting speed.
- Know and apply construction drafting standards to create high-quality drawings.
