Customer Reviews

Terrific Material for introductory course in print reading

This material is great base material from which lesson plans can be built and allows me to safely recommend this book to building trade students for an introductory course that I will be giving this spring. The included drawing packet allows the students to work with real construction drawings instead of simple sketches that are not comprehensive enough for learning the overview required to interpret actual on the job drawings.

good reference book

This book shows all aspects of print reading. It can help take away the brain freeze many people get when they look at a set of prints for the first time. However, there is no better practice than to consistently read prints in the field, since many prints still are not written in the same formats and structure.

Written in a plain English Style

I have been teaching print reading for over 4 years, & this is my required text. Print Reading for Construction is written in a very plain English style and works very well in diverse classroom settings. In addition, this text provides a great deal of sample building plans for sharpening your skills.
