Good training.......2007-05-12
This continues to be the best training material available for mechanical type blueprints available. Lessons are short enough to be almost self study. Each chapter builds seamlessly on previous chapters.

Book Description
Construction trades apprentices will find this realistic, well-illustrated book, an important tool in studying and understanding the basics of construction drawings. The core section of the book features a detailed analysis of a set of residential plans. Pictorial drawings accompany orthographic plan drawings to help users visualize the meaning of the plan drawing. In addition to basic skills, users will learn about important areas that relate to plan development, including code regulations, contracts, and bids. There is also a section that clearly presents measurement and math procedures related to reading of construction plans. Ample construction data includes practical assignments for three sets of full-size construction plans.
Customer Reviews:
Great for Educational Purposes.......2003-12-15
This book a good introduction for blueprint reading, there are 2D and 3D drawings that help readers to visualize the information on the drawings. At the end of each chapter are review questions and definitions of key words, which are useful especially for students.
It comes with large construction drawings on three projects that were actually built. Although they should have printed them on separate pieces of paper instead of having them on both sides of the sheet, this makes it hard to compare and study those construction drawings.
Also, the paper used for publication I find is a bit thin, you have to read the textbook on a flat surface, otherwise it will curl up. The same goes with the construction drawings, after a couple of times of folding and un-folding, the papers tend to tear easily.
I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the building industry.

Customer Reviews:
Horrible Book.......2006-10-17
I agree, this book should not be allowed to be sold. A rating of 1 star is way too high. Do not waste your money.
Agree with first review.......2006-02-02
Fortunately I was able to find this in the local library before buying it. The illustrations are unreadable. WAY too small! Find something else.
BUILDER SAYS "NO" TO THIS BOOK..........2005-08-23
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!! Measuring only 5.25" x 8.5", ALL DRAWINGS ARE REDUCED TO FIT. THE REPRO IS BELOW NEWSPRINT
85 LPI QUALITY MAKING THE PRINT AND DRAWINGS ILLEGIBLE. A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, EVEN AT THE USED PRICE OF $6.00! SHAMEFUL. IF I COULD RATE LOWER THAN ONE STAR I WOULD.

Customer Reviews:
Good delivery.......2007-07-14
The book came on time however there was a page of the plans missing. Other than that everything was good.
Understanding construction drawings.......2007-03-05
The book is very informative how ever i feel some of the questions could have been a little more precise in what they were asking. I needed the book for my construction management class when i was taking another class on materials and methods for construction so a lot of information overlapped which helped concrete it in.
Beware USED books - Drawings are NOT included! .......2007-01-13
The book itself is generally good quality and well-written. I'm learning about construction & drawings for the very first time, so some info was hard for me to really understand - not enough explanation and, oh yeah - the DRAWINGS that are referred to throughout the ENTIRE book - uh... are NOT included! I HOPE someone sees this comment so that perhaps an addendum to the book's description could really warn buyers what they're in for by trying to save money on the used book. Honestly, you really lose at least half the value by not being able to refer to the plans...so: BUYER BEWARE!
Text book study.......2005-10-16
This book is laid out like a text book course of study, which I like, however one important thing to note is that there is no answer key for the tests. The answer key is a seperate book and I have been unable to locate it. Fortunately I work for a General Contractor and have been able to have my co-workers check my answers for accuracy. But as far as being a good source for systematic learning, this book definitely is.
Book Description
