Just subscribe I just recently graduated from college as construction project manager and this is very informative thanks much brother
Thank you ! More to come
You have to study building and construction, structures, estimation,technical drawing, surveying and costing thats what's make architect all rounder it ain't easy if you add calculus
Liked it down to earth, I am an electrical instructor and this is part of the curriculum and I try to seek different ways to present the lessons
Thanks for the feedback!
thanks so much. God Bless.
Amazing video. It is really helpful.
I wish the quality of the video would be higher so i can see clearly the details in the plan.
Thankyou
Thank you, I Will keep in mind for future content. This video was taken from my tiktok live and unfortunately the quality did not prevail
Thank you 🙏
Pls do more of this
You have my subscription already
Coming soon !
Incredible content! Thanks for sharing. Any chance you can show us all of that in a digital format? Just to appreciate all the details of the plans. It would be amazing. Good job, greetings from Peru. 🙌
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, For future content I plan on recording digitally for maximum video quality. Cheers
thanks, it is so useful.
Happy to help !
We want more and more bro ...Thanks a lot ,,,Really I will be dam fan of you if you continue uploading videos ,,,,,,Please please please
More is coming 🎉
Interesting, nice wok!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really informative video... I humble request... If possible, do you mind making a video series where you take us through the process of making an architectural plan for a simple house, right from paper to using a CAD software, complete with how to write the detailed notes, abbreviations and all the standards to be followed by an architect....
It would really be of help to uscwho are starting out, but have no sense of structure...
Great idea. I’ll keep in mind for the future. Thank you !
Thanks
Very good information. I am studying architecture, and I would like to study more how plans are made. Would you happen to have the plans for download by any chance?
They are the property of Austin fox, so I would have to ask him first. Will keep you posted !
I’m a Building construction tech student, this video is really helpful, very well done 👍
Glad it was helpful! Cheers
I came for that information at (16:19) As a beginner, I didn't know I have that much liberty with where on the page I should place the General Notes (and Details) information.
Yep! Everyone does it slightly different.
Incredible, just wow. Would you be able to do a video on structural drawing?
Absolutely, stay tuned
Wow lots of plans for a simple 2 family unit. Bet the professionals really clean up on the fees!
many different professionals come together to make the set. Here we have arch, landscape, structural, civil etc. I’ve definitely done sets that were much smaller and simpler
I like your video 😍🤩😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Thank you! Would you say the plans would allow a DIYer to build by themselves?
if the plans are good enough, and depending on your experience level, then potentially yes.
hey can get the drawings for study
❤
i too have started a firm, will grow soon..☺
Congrats ! Good luck
Sir plz do more vedios on plan reading. I am architecture student so plz sir
More to come !
Currently in school for real estate development but want to learn drafting desperately
I started with single family real estate deals, trying to move into ground up development soon
can you do a video on Type V drawings?
I will be doing more in the future, next one will be type V !
@@architect_talk thanks 👍
Can you do one for wood framing
Yes! More videos to come
@@architect_talk awesome
Im entry level. I need to know how to locate windows
3rd yr in interior design and still cant understand detailed technical drawings
What is it that troubles you? All drawings? Or something specific such as detail, sections etc
@@architect_talk All sort of details trouble me haha. Although I want to keep my designs detailed , I just dont know how to create nor read detailed plans.
I am architectural draugthman
You are beautiful b
too blurry, need a better camera for vids like this
is there software turn plan into 3d print file?
You’re right about the quality. This video was from a tiktok live and admittedly it didn’t save at a high res. Will consider for the future.
I’m only aware of creating 3-D print files via modeling and slicing software. So sketch up, rhinoceros, Ultimaker etc
@@architect_talk there don't seem to be many videos where they take a drawing and build something out of 2X4s from it, or walk through a framed structure and point out the details in the drawing and what it actually looks like.
@@architect_talk Chief Architect too
It look like an old video... Update camera and lighting
Will keep in mind for future content, thank you
cant see the details, why would you upload at 1080p knowing youtube compresses the video quality, grwat content, but quality sucks
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I’m disappointed with the quality. This was a tiktok live that I downloaded from the app. Despite the poor quality I figured I’d upload anyway (not thinking it would perform that well)
For future content I will prioritize high res video 👍🏼
