Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers Construction Plan Reading and Specification training course is a comprehensive construction management training program that helps professionals read construction drawings and written project requirements accurately. Understanding blueprint and technical drawing reading as well as specification understanding is essential for effective execution of projects, project coordination and project compliance within the current construction market. The course provides informal, structured knowledge enabling each participant to confidently read, analyse and apply construction plans and specification documents on various types of construction projects.
The focus of the training course is to create strong skills for analysing construction documentation including architectural and structural drawings as well as MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) layout drawings with their associated detailed specifications. The participant will learn how to search out the most important information within plans, interpret the symbols, notes, scale and legends found on the drawings and analyze the relationship between the construction specification documents written and drawn on the project’s plans in order to eliminate unnecessary mistakes, delays and rework later in the process. The course complements theoretical knowledge with practical examples helping learners to understand the ways in which plans and specifications are used through the Planning, Procurement, Execution and project control phases of a project.
