Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• describe the documents related to the construction process,
• give an account of drawing rules according to current building standards,
• interpret and explain drawings from various construction documents,
• produce simple drawings according to selected standards, by hand and with the tools Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM).

Content

The course aims to provide comprehensive knowledge in reading, understanding and producing standardized drawings and to have knowledge of drawing technical instructions and rules that are common practice in the field. Introduction to the application of CAD and BIM.

The construction process and its documents. Drawing rules according to current building standards including accounting methods, surface markings, drawing methods, lines, text, dimensioning, drawing revisions and the drawing form. Understanding of reading drawings from different stages, such as reinforcement and reconstruction drawings. Introduction to basic principles of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) och Introduction to Building Information Modelling (BIM) as well as the theoretical differences within the building projecting When, what and how different actors work with BIM/CAD and their different representations of the building. Simpler drawings by hand and with CAD and BIM tools according to selected standards. Printouts of different drawings.
