SUMMARY:Reading Construction Documents - August 2026
DESCRIPTION:**Reading Construction Documents (6 Hours)**  \nThis two-part online course developed by the certified instructors at UChapter2 is ideal for entry-level architectural or engineering designers\, apprentices\, tradespersons\, project coordinators\, estimators\, specialty sales reps\, or anyone in career transition looking for a practical refresher.  \n\nWhether you're on the jobsite or in the office\, it's a solid first step toward better project collaboration.\n\nDesigned to quickly build confidence\, this course covers the fundamentals of how to read and understand construction documents. From identifying title block information to reviewing floor plans\, elevations\, and combing through specification sections\, participants will learn how to navigate a full set of drawings and interpret material and construction requirements with clarity.We will use Bluebeam software in the course delivery\, but this is not Bluebeam functionality training.Learning Objectives:Introduction to Construction DocumentsUnderstanding Industry Document StandardsDrawing NavigationThe Importance of Specialty PlansFacilitator:\nTroy DeGroot\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, UChapter2 | OwnerTroy DeGroot is a globally recognized Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, Consultant\, and Implementation Specialist\, known for delivering practical\, workflow-based training courses that empower construction professionals to get results.
