You're welcome!

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

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

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 -

Depends on what you want to do with your long-term career - what are you trying to achieve?

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

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

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

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.

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.

Thank you! Cheers!

Safety First! 😎🤣

Haha that's right!

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

Most welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Depends what you want in life, both are fine careers.

Depends what your end goal is, if it's management then a degree is likely the correct route

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

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.

Wat college u thinking bout brother?

No problem 😎

Who? For what? 🙄

You are very welcome! 😎😎

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!

Yes, I can make a video about monthly pay app / draw in the future

Great to hear!

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

Glad you liked it!

I can probably talk about the specifics of how a commercial construction company works - I'll keep it in mind for a future video

Glad you liked 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

I'm so glad!

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave this message, much appreciated! 😎

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.

I do not have PowerPoints unfortunately, just the videos - but working on putting reference documents on my website

Each beam designation should relate back to a schedule describing that material - such as the beam in this example

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for taking the time to leave the comment and appreciate the feedback! 😎

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

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for dropping the comment

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

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.

My pleasure!
