Blueprints are like a game plan for the construction team, and being able to read them is a skill everyone needs to know. That includes everyone from the architect, to the contractor, to the engineer, to the people who physically build the structure. They all make important decisions based on blueprints. Part of being able to read blueprints includes recognizing common elevation symbols, and having some basic math skills. This 3-hour interactive online course covers those areas. It also reviews the basic parts of a residential blueprint, as well as how to read elevations.
