BANG ON!
Thanks my homie
Love the videos, love that you share your knowledge, love the channel. Keep up the awesome work. And always Bang on Brother! 🤘
Good video as always Matt, I love these ones in particular. PLEASE follow up on it with merging the architectural and structural details!

Can we educate the public and abolish the use of "Blue Prints". Architecturally, the printing of architectural drawings on light sensitive paper hasn't been used since the 80's. "Construction Documents" (CDs) is the official term as it holds legally binding responsibility of the party issuing them.
Matt , your a better teacher than any professor I had in college. The key to communication is brevity. Your brief and concise explanations are awesome!
Same! I am taking a course right now and always come to youtube for help
You saved me hours of my life By not having to enroll in the class to learn this.
DUDE! Yes. This is what i wanted from a builder for a while, I'm glad it was you to explain it.
Yes, please ! Make the “cross-reference architecture and structured “series .
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍
Hey Brother just wanna say thank you for taking the time to teach people how to read prints. I've been a carpenter almost 15 years and sometimes you really don't get the opportunity to practice reading prints on the job.
you said it perfectly, architects make things look pretty and structural engineers make it work
I'm glad I have time to learn from UA-cam again, and you're the first person I looked up! I appreciate the knowledge you share and I admire how humble you are. I've been pursuing a career in construction for years, and every employer has failed to give me the opportunities I deserved. I'm transitioning out of the military and found a great company that is teaching me a lot. As I commented on your IG, I feel so behind and unworthy starting as a laborer for the 5th time in my life. I asked my superintendent for advice on moving up fast, and he told me to learn to read plans so here I am! You motivate and inspire me brother. I hope to be in a position with endless knowledge like you are.
Hey Matt! Thank you for putting in the time to do this. And helping us young carpenters develop our careers further.
I'm a new carpenter in Phx Az, Your videos are awesome. They are informative & interesting. I have literally been studying your videos so please keep making more stuff like this. 🔨💪🏾
Appreciate the content Matt! Just a young carpenter out here in Hawaii trying to make it in the industry. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much much bro. Well explained, I am a draftsman and I am still learning about plans details, please continue to make more plan reading videos, God bless
Thanks so much for these very useful videos. As a young architect, these videos have helped me to review what I already learned in the Technical and Construction document class when I was in architecture school. I hope to watch more videos like this. Thanks again!
Ive been waiting for you to upload this! Im a 2nd year carpenter. Currently studying plans everynight after work. These videos help a lot.
2nd year *apprentice
I saw in the comments someone was asking for this, nice job getting to it so fast!
Thank you Matt you are a wealth of knowledge! I'm committed to forever being an "apprentice", and constantly learning.
I have a job interview for assistant Superintendent for a home building company, i have 16 years of welding/fabricating and i know how to read those blueprints. I am trying to prep for blueprint questions. These are so helpful!!!!!! Thankyou!!!
Yes , please more framing blueprints reading. Thank you for teaching skills.
Dude.. You're FREAKING GOOD... great , simple explanations and descriptions... Thanks !
I just took a clase on how too read blue prints online .
I was definitely lost .
Im a journey man but never really had a chance too learn on how too read plans
You made it way more understandable!thanks brotha !!!!!!!! And bang 💥 on !!
Did the class help?
Thank you Matt as all your drawing videos this one is greaTTTT!!!! Thank you for doing this for us!
I once again thank you for your helpful teaching, doing great
Yes please make a video about referencing architectural and structural
Hey man appreciate this, just passed my NC residential test, so this is my step 2. you'll be seeing a lot of me lol
I find it amazing reviewing plans and knowing which ones were done in autocad opposed to Revit. Autocad just simply looks like lines on a page, wheras Revit has more detail, linewights are more proportionate, detailing is a lot more intense. Just based on the technicians skill level I guess. As a drafter... these plans were definitely done in AutoCAD.
yes can you make more how to reading plans videos this helps me out a lot im new to the business and I want to learn as much as I can
Really appreciate this educational planning video
Hi Matt. Great tutorial on reading plans. Looks like the swelling is gone from your jaws also. 😀 Can't wait to see the next build. Enjoy the day. Ray L
Interesting video, barely made it through I got so sleepy. You have a calming/soothing voice lol

His voice keeps me engaged. I like it, too.
Yr videos have more details and beneficial! Thank you
Thx bro i bs my way into a job

Great explaining thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on plans. In the future, I think it would help laymen like me if in your next season of videos if you remembered to stop at some point, pull out the plans, and visually point to what your referencing in the plan.
I'm not a framer but I'm super interested in construction. Thank you very much for making these videos! I'll appreciate if you could also provide links to references where we could learn more details.
Thank you so much you are doing good thanks I am learning
Your videos are awesome!! you should do a video on how to do lumber takeoffs

Thank you! 🎉
Please do as well to explain the position of doors and windows in your next video
Thanks sir
hi Matt. First thanks a lot for all your information. It's very easy to understand also very practical.
I have a question,
Does the home designer, who is developing a new residential project ( all the design), has to develop the construction plans too?
it's that mandatory? it's ok that the home designer just gives me the architectural set of plans? (of course, it includes the plans, facades plans, sections, details, scheduling...etc...)
I am really confused...
Please make more!
That was a great video.
Remember to keep your sticks on the ice...lol
Thats a Canadian joke
Thanks for making such great content. Do you do roof framing as well?
Hi could you do a video on how to read complicated roof plans? Like houses with logs for instance? Anything would help out im sure Thankyou!
Would like to see your Architectural/Structural Cross reference video
Good job.
Fast reading 📚
Lucky lol, my job now requires 5/8 hd 6" from splices and corners. Too often my layout lands 4 or 5 inches from a jak ... what a pain!
Any advice on understanding blueprints that have waterproofing and damp proofing?
Hey Matt, I Have Been Learning from your tutorial videos BUT this tutorial on reading Plans Left Me Wanted to get more understanding. Wonder if you could sell me a copy of this tutorial Plans . Honestly Bro. I Believe that with a copy of those plans and the video People Can learn Big From You.
Hi matt i enjoy ur videos on youtube.in your season 2 video build from the ground up how much did the project cost the homeowner from concrete to final framing i.e roof and sheathing..by the why i live away over in ireland were only in the last 3 years have the architects and builder's now realized that timber framing is a productive way of building🤔..anyways keep on banging.
Yo Matt what’s your method for getting material together when looking through blueprints?
when you retire framing, you should teach framing.
Extremely interesting! More!
Very helpful video, thanks. I think it would be more clear if you were talking with pdf drawings.
Where do I find your video of actual building referenced to reading plans?
Yes please send me more
Hey Matt, love your videos. You mention the term shear walls in many of your videos. Could you explain what that means a little further?
Thanks
I believe that’s the exterior wall material (OSB, plywood) that’s affixed to the studs. You would then put a vapor barrier of some sort (tar paper) on top and then your siding material (lap siding, shingle, stucco).
A shear wall provides lateral stability of the framing members making up the skeleton, such as the 2x4s or 2x6s. The OSB or plywood keeps the wall from collapsing in the same plane as the wall. Another term is "racking."
thank i wants to learn more please
You didn't discuss tolerances, are there any or is 1/8" the default?
Would I be able to buy a few plan copies off of you to familiarize myself with them?
Do you know how to quote up plasterboard from plans
Handiwerx is not for General Contractors though correct?
Is there a way to recognize a shear wall in a blueprint?
Thanks Matt. So if I were to order a plan from those online sites like Houseplans.com, would those plans have the same contents as what you're showing us here?
No, if you’re in California, hire a structural engineer to draw up your stuff.. Trust me, it’s worth it!
Una pregunta hermano
Que se inifica (2) 2x6
TRIM.
Como puedo ver tus videos subtitulados me serían de mucha ayuda 👍 gracias
How do you figure out wall heights?
What is a trimmer?
First!
All about grid lines the t-bar will show up a bad layout
How much does this app charge per lead? Is there a contract??
Matt do you want go out for a dinner?
Can you give me soft copy
good 👍🏻young boy👍🏻
This is where I stay in my lane.... yall can have that mess......thats a brain overload....just give me some nails and a hammer and let me be....lol
