Not bad but the information is not much detail. Just review mode without detail explanation.

By Gerardo Paico Eusebio on 8/21/2026

I believe it should expand more on other focuses of construction projects, such as healthcare, data centers, and renovations, etc. MEP drawings should be a bit more thorough since it is all meshed together.

By Summer Walker on 5/26/2026

Nice pace, extremely informative and definitely has me feeling a lot more comfortable reading plans. I will have this to the side to watch again and again as I get more comfortable.

By Charlie Smith on 5/8/2026

The level of detail around these instructions is just enough to understand without getting too repetitive or lose the viewers interest.

By Jason Kapp on 3/4/2026

By Ryan Tobin on 2/16/2026

It was very good. Wish it went into a little more detail on the specifics of reading the various MEP plans but I will see if the instructor has courses on those specifically.

By Mina Dixit on 1/12/2026

A great "going back to basics" by reviewing the information on the course to solidifying and matching the experience gained in the field.
