Course contents

This one-day beginners’ course gives attendees an ability to read and interpret construction drawings through a day of interactive learning.

During the course of the session, attendees will learn about the different types of drawing, hatching, scales, and how to take the right information from a drawing.

The delegates will get interactive with a package of drawings such as:

  • Location plans
  • Sections
  • Ground floor/first floor plans
  • Elevation drawings

Your LABC Warranty trainer will also allow delegated time to familiarise themselves with construction drawings, and to start to draw and sketch some basic symbols, shapes, and lines. These will be used in a group discussion to drive home understanding of construction drawings and buildings.

 

Ideal for

Employees in customer service roles, non-technical roles, graduates, or administrators.
