Aye thank you bruh
You're welcome!
Didn’t really understand the elevation numbers 2599.17 means what
That's the elevation of the pipe in reference to sea level, civil plans typically use this elevation reference. Check out my video on "How to Read Civil Drawings."
@@planandspec thanks for real bruh you made that video to. I like how you broke everything down they was explaining at work but goin way too fast. I get this reading under my belt it’s over
hello sir i am naresh and i did civil engineering in india and now i am living in canada and want to prepare for constructione estimate jobs. i really dont know how to start and from where to start so that i can get some knowledge about the job for crack my interviews. if you guide me sir it would be really greatfull for me.
Do you have any experience working in construction yet? I'm not familiar with the Canadian construction market, but I would just start applying to all roles. If you don't have experience, you need to get experience - so an introductory role will start teaching you what you need to know about construction that will help in estimating. While working - you can always then just focus on estimating openings.
@@planandspec it would be helpful for me to!! And i will try to apply as a internship or try to get some course on cost estimating
Thank you for creating these presentations. I just discovered your channel and it's really helping me. I do have a question: for small residential projects, would you draw lines connecting lighting fixtures to their respective switches, or use a symbol at the fixture and identical symbol at location where you want the switch? Is there a reference you can direct me to that illustrates this?
I think it's sometimes done this way on residential plans for simplicity. I've never worked off a residential set of plans, but I'm sure you could just google residential electrical drawings to find something close enough for reference. Hope this helps -
Is this a good degree for a truss designer?
Depends on what you want to do with your long-term career - what are you trying to achieve?
Is it good for girls to be construction manager?
Not exactly sure what the question is : ) But construction management is more about passion for building, it's for anyone with that passion
@planandspec I mean, I am a construction management student, but I am a bit confused about the job field. Is it a good program for females?
Yes it is. I guess what I'm saying is that I work with male and female project manager's - so it's a good field if you like construction, but if you're not interested in the classes you're in then it's likely not going to be a long term good fit. If you've got specific questions, shoot me an email (email address in about section)
@@planandspec Thanks for answering, I really needed someone's advice. I was just worried about job field dominance. Thanks again
i am studiying in sweden want to work as pm or superintendent in us
You could apply to Skanska - they have an international work program (although not guaranteed) ! I've got a good friend who lives in Sweden who came to the United States through this program! Best of luck
Very informative! I wish I would have found your channel sooner
I have PMP and Bachelor degree in Architecture Am I better to have GC or Architecture license?
If you're looking to work.in Architecture - then an Architecture license. I'd you're looking to work in construction project management and not run your own company, neither would be worthwhile.
@@planandspec I live in Florida
I achieved my PMP certification and I have 9 years experience from my country construction project manager i applied a lot but all construction companies rejected my resume what should I do ?
Are you applying to US companies or companies where you live?
@@planandspec I applying to US Companies
@@planandspec I living in Florida and I wanna be Project Manager
Try a recruiter that specializes in construction, look for Project Engineer / Assistant Project Manager roles first to get your foot in the door.
What'd u use to make the videos?
Webcam and added elements via editing process
@@planandspec curious what editing software?
I use Wondershare but don't recommend it if you're just starting - I'm switching to Adobe Premier Pro currently.
Super.
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm a little baffled by the eye shield, but who cares. This is an excellent review. Very well done.
Safety First! 😎🤣
This is better than AI, a real human being explaining things
Haha that's right!
I’m 52 and want to be a construction project manager
I’m in Los Angeles, how do I shadow someone?
Have you worked prior in construction? Mostly you'll pick up experience from landing a job, you can always reach out to me on my website if you've got more questions
Thank you
Thank you sir!!
Most welcome!
Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Where are those blueprints available
I just graduated should I go to trade school to become an electrician or should I go to college and get a bachelor's degree in construction management?
Depends what you want in life, both are fine careers.
I'm currently planning to get a dumper and roller licence in the UK and working in the field for a year then moving into a construction management degree. Do you have any recommendations for me?
Depends what your end goal is, if it's management then a degree is likely the correct route
Question. Can you show how to refer to arch drawings for wall details. Meaning how to find out how thick the wall is so we know what size of mud ring to use.
Check out my "How to Read Architectural Drawings" video, I'm pretty sure I cover the page that shows wall types in that video. There is always a page the shows wall schedules, then in plan view on the other drawings it will show the designated wall type
Looking to chase construction management degree and hope to work office as I’m a senior in high school. If I do end up working in office how much manual labor would be required before or during working in the office? Don’t mind doing some but do not want to be doing it everyday
There is technically no manual labor if you work in project management, the focus is on everything that runs the project such as lining up manpower. I still jump in and help where and when I can though to assist, so I wouldn't say it's zero.
I’ve been an electrician for about 4 years now went to trade school I love the field but I’m going back to college to become a CM at 23 since I want to start my own construction company and want to learn the financial side of it since I already know the field side of things
Wat college u thinking bout brother?
My man. Thanks for doing this.
No problem 😎
they wanted me to pay $800 for this 😭
Who? For what? 🙄
Hello there, I'm a janitor I want to thank you for this great video I have learned a lot.
You are very welcome! 😎😎
Your videos are incredibly informative and have truly set the standard for construction education online. I deeply admire your dedication and passion for the craft. It's clear you put a lot of effort into each video, and it shows! Would it be possible to access the original drawing files you use in your tutorials? It would be great to review them in more detail. Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos!
The documents are unfortunately not available, I'm currently working on a website to publish similar documents to help continued learning though. Stay tuned for that!
Can you talk about pay app, your video is really great, and more detail construction process, like monthly😂
Yes, I can make a video about monthly pay app / draw in the future
Associates degree in CM is definitely worth it. Started with a large commercial construction General Contractor as a Laborer/Safety Carpenter. Started going to school in the afternoons/nights and now I am a Field Engineer soon moving into an Assistant Superintendent role.
Great to hear!
I just got my associates for CM, but im struggling to start my career. I just wanna know is it best to call local GC around my area to ask for opportunities to learn from them. Do u have any tips on how can get started?
Just start applying locally and anywhere you're willing to move, see if you can work with a recruiter (who is specific to construction), and just keep at it - look for project engineer roles at larger GCs / CMs
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I have been looking for a video like this for ages and i stumbled upon it accidentally. Can you please do a video on how a construction company works. I am a civil engineering student and wish to have a large scale construction company in my country. Your efforts will be highly appreciated!
I can probably talk about the specifics of how a commercial construction company works - I'll keep it in mind for a future video
Absolutely, great job. Thanks a lot!!!
Glad you liked it!
Is an construction technology degree worth it?
Not sure what's included in the degree curriculum, but it's likely not as applicable as a CM or Engineering degree for construction roles
This video is absolutely amazing! I truly appreciate it. You made it incredibly easy to understand.
I'm so glad!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very helpful for individuals entering the construction industry.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave this message, much appreciated! 😎
good watch
will it be possible to have a copy of this sample drawing even just the pdf? And how can this be transferred to AutoCAD drawings?
Hey love your stuff I'm just confused on something. What's the difference between NEC code that we should follow vs specifications provided in a project in electrical drawings ? Like are the specifications pulled from the NEC ?? Or they're two different things
Specifications are written to follow NEC and any specific local codes, the drawings are always drawn (intended) to meet code. There is typically a note in the drawings that states to follow local codes and regulations and applicable electrical codes, as a backup to the engineers drawings in case the electrical engineer incorrectly designed something.
Hey I am interested in power points, do you have powerpoints to teach this stuff and the rest of your videos? How to contact you if you have such aid?
I do not have PowerPoints unfortunately, just the videos - but working on putting reference documents on my website
im glad that this kind of technical explanation on how to interpret structural drawing is made. I'm just starting to learn on how to interpret the connection of drawings between each page like from single line to double line. If for example, i will draw the beam for L1 where will get the information on the steel needed at that particular location? was there a schedule or was it coming from general notes, and then making the section plane or cutting plane how to interpret this as well thanks for your possible reply
Each beam designation should relate back to a schedule describing that material - such as the beam in this example
Man what a great video, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm really impressed with your knowledge of this topic. You move quickly and thoroughly through the process. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to leave the comment and appreciate the feedback! 😎
I’m a Plumbers apprentice, will be getting my journeyman before too long ( I do commercial construction ). What degrees or certifications should I get to set myself apart from the competition to get into management.
Associates or Bachelors in Construction Management would be the fast track - but also most expensive upfront. That's if you want to work on the CM / GC side. If you want to work a management role within your trade I would talk to your company on what they need to get you into that role
Very professional and clear cut for new learners! Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for dropping the comment
I got a question I want to get my bachelors in construction it’s 4 years but I work full time in the field would I be able to do it online after work? It’s at LSU but I live in texas
It would be extremely difficult without a doubt, but people do it. If you're trying to accomplish it in 4 years, it's essentially working/class/studying around the clock. I'd suggest working part time or school part time if either are possible to still give yourself a life - but it's really what you want.
@@planandspec thanks man they say it’s 100%online on my on pace no class that’s why I’m looking into it
Does the main contractor have to take out insurance so that the sub trades get paid if the main contractor goes bust?
Sometimes the Owner will require the GC hold a payment and performance bond, sometimes GCs will have the subcontractor hold payment and performance bonds. This is where a bonding company would step in if there was a failure. Not exactly insurance, but known as a bond. I'll make a future video on different types on bonds.
Super worth it. Work during school. You’ll come out at least making 85k and will quickly get up to 110-120k
Great video, very informative! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
My pleasure!
