QCONSFL6
Achieving successful projects in the built environment requires a range of different types of information to describe the project, quantify the materials, provide clear instructions for assembly and erection, and allow for accurate costing and management. Throughout the process of design, information is critical.
Central to construction information is the production of construction drawings. Most other forms of construction information will rely, to a greater or lesser degree, on reference to construction drawings. Therefore, the production of accurate and clearly defined construction drawings is a critical part of the overall construction information package.
Digital applications play a key role in the production of construction drawings. They provide a way to manage drawing information and make changes with greater efficiency and can be shared readily through a variety of digital communication systems.
You will develop the skills needed to produce accurate and consistent construction information using industry-standard software.
This course is delivered as part of the South Yorkshire Institute of Technology (SYIoT).
