Course Description

This course offers students the opportunity to use and understand information about critical building assembly details used to produce construction documents, design and develop custom details, coordinate specification information, and revise existing details to conform to current architecture engineering and construction industry standards. The assemblies considered are typical of residential construction. Students use traditional and digital tools to prepare clearly drawn graphic details, assemble accurate information for coordination with other parts of the building design, specify materials, and develop prototype details to address unique construction conditions. Students are encouraged to explore personal areas of interest within the course objectives.
