Overview

This course has now happened, but we hope to run it again in the autumn, so please email us on: info@gardenmasterclass.org if you would like to be added to a mailing list for the next time we do so.

This course will explore what construction drawings are, and the principles that underpin them.

Topics covered:

What are construction drawings and why we need them

The relationship between drawings and the specification

How to decide what drawings are needed for any give project

The jargon and principles associated with drawing sheets

What are elevations, projections and how they are created

Laying out a drawing adding dimensions and labels

The principles of construction and the associated detailing needed to communicate it are universal. While local building codes and material sizes will differ, the course will be useful for practitioners outside the UK.

Every area and topic discussed will include examples of construction drawings and details.
