# Blueprint Reading Course - Commercial Construction (Self-Paced) Canonical URL: ## Overview This online blueprint reading course for commercial construction projects focuses on the skills needed to understand and navigate construction documents (CDs) for complex mixed-use developments. Led by a licensed architect, you will explore the relationships between various drawings, ensuring you can interpret the full scope of architectural and engineering designs for commercial projects. - **Understand the Inter-Relationships Between Drawings:** Learn how the various drawings in a set of construction documents are interrelated and how to navigate them for a complete understanding of the project. You will gain insight into how each drawing contributes to the overall construction process, allowing you to connect different elements within the project. - **Analyze and Cross-Reference Drawings:** Develop the ability to analyze and cross-reference multiple sets of drawings, ensuring you understand how information flows between different documents and how changes in one area can affect others. This skill is essential for maintaining consistency and accuracy in the construction process. - **Evaluate Similarities in Building Permit Submissions:** Learn how to evaluate the similarities between various construction documents submitted for building permits. This includes assessing how building codes and regulations are reflected across multiple documents, helping ensure all necessary elements are addressed in the submission process. - **Explore the Role of 3D Models in Construction:** Gain experience understanding how 3D model presentations are integrated within construction documents and how these models help make complex projects easier to understand. This approach allows you to visualize intricate designs, improving your ability to interpret and work with technical plans. ## What you'll learn - Demonstrate an understanding of the inter-relationship between the drawings included in a set of Construction Documents (blueprints) for a Mixed-Use Commercial project - Analyze different drawings and see how information is referenced throughout a set of Construction Documents - Evaluate the similarities between all sets of construction documents submitted for building permits - Recognize the need for consistency in presenting information in all types of Construction Documents - Gain experience understanding how 3D model presentations within a set of construction documents make it easier to understand the project ## Schedule - Jun 17, 2026 – Jul 17, 2026 — Live Online - Jul 13, 2026 – Aug 12, 2026 — Live Online - Jul 18, 2026 – Aug 17, 2026 — Live Online - Jul 25, 2026 – Aug 24, 2026 — Live Online - Aug 3, 2026 – Sep 2, 2026 — Live Online - Aug 6, 2026 – Sep 5, 2026 — Live Online - Aug 15, 2026 – Sep 14, 2026 — Live Online - Aug 15, 2026 – Sep 14, 2026 — Live Online - Aug 31, 2026 12:00am–12:00am — Live Online - Sep 5, 2026 – Oct 5, 2026 — Live Online - Sep 5, 2026 – Oct 5, 2026 — Live Online - Sep 29, 2026 – Oct 29, 2026 — Live Online - Oct 8, 2026 – Nov 7, 2026 — Live Online - Oct 8, 2026 – Nov 7, 2026 — Live Online - Oct 20, 2026 – Nov 19, 2026 — Live Online - Nov 2, 2026 – Dec 2, 2026 — Live Online - Nov 17, 2026 – Dec 17, 2026 — Live Online - Dec 6, 2026 – Jan 5, 2027 — Live Online - Dec 6, 2026 – Jan 5, 2027 — Live Online ## Pricing **Tuition:** $329
