I'm an A&E Project Coordinator for a turn-key site development/real estate enhancement company that services the telecom industry--and I'm still VERY new to construction drawings, so this was EXTREMELY helpful!! Thank you so much!

I appreciate your time and consideration for us beginners, good luck with all of your future designs, and builds of course.

I wish I had a teacher like you for a couple years so now I'll be prepared for what its coming my way..thanks

Thank you! I work for a commercial window treatment company and I just got promoted to help with take offs. Exciting

AMAZING Video Jesse!!!! I've been waiting for this since our talk last week!!!!

This video helped me a lot with understanding blueprints! Thank You!

I thought i would never find a video like this. Im a brick layer becoming a forman/project manager. You have showed me I can do this and its easier than i thought!

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Fun to watch and loads of good content.

Such a helpful video, even though i somewhat know how to read plans its helpful to see you explain more about the codes and such! Working on starting up my own drywall/metal framing along with my dad and very excited to get started and your videos are so helpful i appreciate your videos and hopefully I can get a consultation call with you soon to get more in depth answer I'm looking for! for now im trying to do as much research as i can do online.

Thank you man. Didn't even wait to the end to give a thumbs up. God bless man!! Thanks. Fun and clear video. Much appreciated!!

Excellent video, thank you👍🏼

I love this guy lmao thanks for the video/perspective.

I learn a lot thanks master

Good video Thanks a lots Got a general idea of construction drawing.

Did anyone talk about that quote on the wall? No? Been checking the comments to see if anyone else noticed.. I hope that's your space, it says a lot about you. You've already gained my respect the 1st minute in..

KZfaq pushed this video to me, I reckon it's due to I am also a licensed builder and structural engineer in Australia. Anyway, good to find your channel, it's of professional and informative content!

Architectural Structural Civil Mechanical Electrical & Plumbing

Bruh.. did you just invent the "business dab".. I'm dead lmao

This is great! Shareable and a base to teach new hires! Thank you!

awesome vid. Thank you!

Great video, Jesse! Just subscribed!

This is very helpful! A few years back I was thrown into Construction. I used the Search option usually to find specifics when I'm asked, but sometimes plans I get are so sketchy that it's hard to follow sometimes. THANK YOU!

your the best Jess always wondered about it because I worked as a labourer for owner/quantity surveyor/supervisor in his home build renovation lot there man but he was like yourself very articulate and professional one more new subscriber friend.

I just started being an estimator at my job. These videos are helpful I think this stuff is going to take a while to get down

Thanks for your time and explanation of the drawings and just a little bit about what it means to be a general contractor.

Hi Jesse I work for an engineering firm and I’m looking into obtaining my Gc license in the near future. I’m learning a lot from your videos! Keep up the good content!

Thanks for the video...starting carpenters apprenticeship soon👌

This is incredible thank you! Transitioning from accounting to project manager at my job with no experience but tons of willingness to learn! Thank you Jesse!

Excellent overview of the design process from an "earthbound" perspective. Many architects come from the liberal arts world!

Good job Jesse. A suggestion would be to do a structural drawing review. Let me know if you need a mechanical (or MEP) engineer to give input on their decision making.

Great video, very very good explanation for basic understanding which is the most important to get everything else right. Thank you so much

Awesome Tutorial

Very good video! Can you do one explaining your approach and method for pricing one of those projects? How did you win the project and how did you get to the price to win it.

Excellent video

Awesome video, you can tell how much you like your job..!!

Thank you

Great work. Please do more in depth video's about commercial blueprint reading and all aspects of a superintendents job responsibilities to keep a job on time and on buget, thank you sir you are very informative. And, if I get the job I will be Soo thankful for your tutilage.

Thanks for the great info! :) Do you think you can do a video diving into fire-rated walls, glass, etc?

The professional dab 😂😂😂 love it. Btw you with braces is hot. Thanks for the video you're very much appreciated

Hi Jesse. I really enjoyed this video. I'm a Awning / sign manufacturer and installer. I often have problems finding the details such as measurements and material types when it comes to the signage. This is crucial since this is required in order to properly quote jobs. Can you offer any suggestions?

Very good dear

Excellent Video- I’m returning to Commercial ground ups after 20 years. Great refresher! Do you have any schedule videos? Haha!

Thank you nice video, I'm a Kitchen Designer :)

if you need a glass and glazing company in the Tampa Bay area feel free to reach out to us! Great work! Great vids!

Thanks!

Im getting ready to take blueprint test on just the Painting part. Im a painter. Could u rec a video that focuses on ghe as far as blueprints plse. I watched your vid and it was great. Just feel like i need something more. Like figuring square footage if the ceiling is 9.3 or 12 ft ect

This is great thanks

Jesse, very informative. Have a question regarding finishes. How does a person just starting out figure out what areas need painting? For example, new millwork. Do they plans tell you or is this a question for the GC? Along these lines, is there a method from looking at the plans to figure out wall lengths and height?

Hi Jesse. My problem is counting stairs for big buildings (commercial) Do you have a video or a suggestion on how i can learn properly counting?

That poster on your wall is smart. It just made me think of this line about my industry: "97% of PAINTING CONTRACTORS who watch you video will quit, and not spend even 3 minutes to find out how they too can bid on profitable COMMERCIAL PAINTING PROJECTS by having their blueprints (drawings) measured the easy way!"

haha i like this video...........his videos are interesting

Hey Jessie great video very informative. I have where can I find information about the slab on grade on a set of plans

nice video

Great content. You actually sound funnier at a slower speed :)

A professional businessman dab!! Classic..

nice sir I m beginner thinks

This was the first video online that actually helped me. Jesse ... dude ... Name is Joe. I work as a commercial carpenter in CLE and surrounding areas. I'd like to learn blue print reading as it applies to what I do? Please help? Thx.

i like your video can you do one like a warehouse like amazon with conveyor belts

I see you use a MaciSO and use Preview. Have you used Bluebeam before on a PC? Is there a good Mac version of that?

This dude gets off topic a lot but thanks for the video!

Take off the Read on the name of your video. Thanks for explaining

Would you be able to share some of your work in PDF format for those of us who would like to get started with Tenant Improvement plans? I could use them as a reference to ensure plan accuracy. Thank you!

Hey, i just got hired at a construction job as an estimator. So far they have only taught me how to read apartments and housing foundation. can you please do a few examples on how to read commercial foundation? How can you tell from where to where is each type of parameter footings.

i receive some prints very limited info on flooring i have to be requesting info all the time,why they make it so hard for the flooring guy

Hey buddy your video its amazing you are great teacher i need some tips of you i founded my company i dont know how get more leads i have all experience in the job i just need some help. You are a professional in the field

Hi Jesse, I have dm ed you on instagram but haven't received any reply so I post here. I am curious about residential constructions in the US. I was just wondering why the houses in the US made from wood instead of concrete while houses in Asia are made from concrete which I think more lasting. The other day I also googled and didn't find any company that build with precast brick materials (which can be less expensive). Is it because florida has storms and it doesn't comply with the code? Do u need to get new material (precast brick) certification before you can use them? Thanks

You use construct connect and blue beam? That's what there training me on

hi is all that from autocad ?

Do you provide the client with a itemized scope of work for each trade to go along with your bids?

I would like to learn how compatible projects. Like, construction vs pluming, electric...

What programs do you use??

solid shirt change

don't forget the termite spray or you're screwed 😆

You jump around a lot but I am ok with it. LOL keeps the video intresting

I can't see it's blur. But I'm very thankful for the information.

anyway to get some blueprints sent to study them?

I am taking the contract and the project administration for the general contractor and I am having trouble with passing the test. Any suggestions do you offer a class anywhere?

Plumbing is usually coordinated by the Mechanical Engineer.

What do I need to have to do what yiu do? A college degree? A construction license?

Would it be improper to request a video like this specific to masonry? I’m trying to move up the ladder in my commercial masonry company and I need to know how to read plans for that. I really appreciate your expertise and your willingness to share what you’ve learned. I plan on taking a formal class but I want to get whatever bass info I can beforehand. Thanks in advance, either way.

It still gets me hot when each trade is only referring to one sheet. It's certainly the superintendents job to coordinate everything and review field conditions. But the trades should also take a guick look at the other drawings. Also not having a drawing set not mine on site is a problem. Yes we have I pads and such but each trade should have at least the a 1 or floor plan and ceiling drawing. Some subs send there guys to job and they are lost.

Ahhaha I like to keep things interesting 😂😂😂😂😂

Anybody know whwere i can see the drawings examples for MEP and Structual?

How do I establish elevations

What's a riser

Great vid. Please zoom n more. Difficult to see. Thanks

Do you have a Construction project management certificate?
