Learn Blueprint Reading in Los Angeles, California

This 1-hour online introductory course to building codes for interior designers points to the why, what, where and when of the building code information that is essential to interior design practice.

Consulting a resource of this kind provides an efficient alternative to wading through volumes of codes, standards, regulations and guidelines that pertain to all aspects of the built environment with the intent of understanding what specific information applies to interiors - a task that is not only overwhelming but likely to be impossible.

Building codes are mastered through years of experience, the foundation of which begins by starting in the right place. This course will direct designers to fundamental issues and information that will help form that foundation efficiently and concisely.

This course is designed to provide you with that foundational knowledge and enough practice at reading blueprints to get you started. Mastery of blueprint reading will come with practice and with using blueprints on the job on a regular basis.

Blueprint Reading is the universal form of communication in manufacturing plants and machine shops. This interactive seminar has been designed to teach you the theory of drawings, how to identify the essential details, and how to interpret the dimensions found on engineering drawings.

This program features a series of workshops using drafting instruments to construct isometric and orthographic drawings - including their dimensions and tolerance. Upon completion of the program, you will have gained a new set of skills for reading engineering drawings.

Attendees receive a copy of Print Reading for Industry by Walter C. Brown.
