## Overview

This self-paced Commercial Blueprint Reading course builds a strong foundation in understanding and interpreting commercial construction drawings. Designed for both newcomers and industry professionals, it helps strengthen blueprint reading skills and explains how drawings are used throughout the construction process. Instruction is led by a licensed architect and uses real-world plans from a mixed-use commercial project featuring hotel, retail, and parking components.

Participants learn to read and interpret full plan sets, including architectural, structural, MEP, and site drawings commonly used on commercial projects. The course explores how different disciplines coordinate, how details overlap across drawings, and how to work with authentic construction documents in practical scenarios. You’ll also see how blueprints support estimating, scheduling, and on-site execution.
