Product Description
Updated to the latest standards in the industry, the fourth Edition of Understanding Construction Drawings continues to highlight a range of real construction projects - from residential dwellings to commercial structures - including more in-depth coverage of mechanical systems. Focused on teaching how to read construction drawings, this book provides detailed, thorough coverage builds the foundation for a broad understanding of construction drawings, - beginning with a simple duplex home that focuses readers on the fundamentals of views, lines, basic dimensioning, and symbols. Next, coverage of a multi-level single family home goes into more depth in orienting and cross-referencing drawings. The third section explores multi-family construction and is accompanied by more complex drawings for practice and more advanced interpretations. The final portion of the book introduces readers to elements of commercial construction, including structural steel, masonry, and reinforced concrete. A set of drawings accompanies each building so that readers can apply important skills and gain a "real-world" understanding of construction drawings.
