what i like: - explanation of symbols, annotations, elevations - detail-oriented look into sections of the plan, while explaining the materials involved and their dimensions or relations to other materials - well paced speed during explanation - no overusage of mouse movements.. your composure draws my attention keep it up

Thanks for sharing, the world need people like you.

Thanks Mr John your overwhelming, skilful teaching is very instructive. please keep it up for complex buildings too!!!!!

Thank you for making this video. I'm studying for my Reinforced Concrete plans test and you cleared up many questions I had. thanks.

This has been more than helpful for me as a fresh civil engineer graduate, much appreciated!

Great that knowledgeable people share there thoughts, unlike some that seem to keep everything a secret. people learn from others. Thanks for taking the time to make a great video.

very concise, very well explained with a dash of calm patience too Much appreciated

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been a GC since 2003 mostly small up-fits and am now a commercial building inspector. Great information, thanks again.

Thank you very much for this educational video, looking forward to see more. Thank you.

Thanks mate I am a assistant quantity surveyor AKA bean counter and this was very informative keep up the good work!!

Great video I'm looking to become an assistant superintendent for structural building knowing plans are a necessity. Your video is amazing thanks for your time and information.

Excellent little run through, very well done and very clear.

it comes natural to you because you've been doing it so long. Practice makes perfect here.

This video is super nice. Thanks for going through the details. Much helpful!

Thank you! I'm a structural engineering student, and I learned a lot from this video. One observation: it is interesting that they use a W12X50 steel beam (min 31:28) on the upper left section of the building, but a W21X50 steel beam in the central area (min 31:50) of the building, even though they seem to be similar spans. Maybe it is related to the fact that the first one is supporting 11 7/8" deep TJIs with a lower tributary area, while the second one is supporting 13.5" deep Glulams with more tributary area? Even though the beams have the same linear weight, the moment of inertia (resistance of cross section shape to bending) of the WX21X50 is about 2.5 times higher than the moment of inertia for the W12X50, meaning the later would have about 2.5 times more deflection under identical loading conditions. It's interesting to think about why the beams are specified differently.

Thank you sir Your explanation about foundation plans, dashed lines, was very usefull

Thank you so much for sharing. I am very new at reading structural drawings. I feel like I just took a big step forward. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for the explanations. It was so helpful for me as a new in Architecture.

thank you for taking the time to simplify the plans...I am just a union mason..but I love referring to the drawings for myself...thanks

Hay man thanks for the video. I am a foreman for a structural welding company. I can read drawings enough to get by but as more and more responsibilities are put on me the more I need to know. Your video is great. Can you make more maybe going more into depth

one of the best videos out there thank you so much

you were incredible, I am a new comer in AUS and this English description help me too much.

great work SE kindly share more such videos with us thnk u :) stay blessed

Thank you for awesome video. It helped me a lot. Appreciate it.

Thanks for your time, really enjoyed it. Will you please go over more complex plans (high rise, bridge, dam and underground etc)?.My approach is the same as well take it all in over a couple of beers then plan it out.

Thank you so much for this video. This helped me as a building Surveyor Student.

As a New Inspector for Rebar etc... this is needed.

Great job, much appreciated, Thanks.

good video, i like the way of your teaching, carry on, sir.

world need people like you

that was really good. Thank you

Thank you John for the informative video. Is there any way I can obtain a set of the pdfs?

Wow, this beautiful. Thanks so much. I will love see more contents from you....

I'm very appreciate with this video. Thanks a lot sir

Thank you for this explanations. This is tremendously helpful

Hey! Thank you ! Awesome video

What software produce these types of structural drawings?

Nice! can you give us this PDF file? Thanks!

Very impressive, thank you sir!

thank you for this video, I've learned a lot!

I'm from canada, idk if it will be different but can you do a video on structural steel? like more in depth with columns and beams?

Great Job!! Thank You!!

What font is used in the drawings? And also the lines are more some kind of darkblue instead of pitch black, I like that. Grtz from Belgium

Amazing video!!!!

Thank you bro.

Thank you for posting. I am a ME and looking to brush my skills.

Great video! thanks!

Excellent video, thank you.

Could you post something about making forms for concrete construction, like I'm in the forms "mold" shop for Stresscon a smaller part of Encom. And I've never done this stuff before I really want to be able to look at the blueprints and just know what I'm looking at, what to do, what's next.. Idk, awesome video though will subscribe, thanks bro.

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to give a very detailed walk through of todays plans.

Thank, its so educating.

Thank you for your insight.

i cant see the letters their too small.

Thank you so much!

How often do you see structural drawings done by hand vs CAD? And which are better

00:02 Understanding how a structural engineer reads and interprets structural drawings. 02:32 Understanding structural drawings and materials 07:44 Understanding the reference point and dimensions as a starting point for construction. 10:08 Understanding the building's structural layout and architectural details 15:17 Self-supporting steel frame and various materials used for structural support 17:40 Analyzing structural drawings for building perimeter and footings 21:59 The contractor builds footings, walls, insulates, backfills, and builds from the bottom up according to the structural plan. 24:11 Detailed view of 6-inch diameter extra-strong pipe column and footer construction. 28:12 Understanding the construction materials and structural elements of the mezzanine 30:47 Analyzing structural details and connections

Can you please make more detail videos on str plan and section plan just like this......it's very helpful for me

Is there any Requirement for rebar detailer ?

Thank you, Sir

very helpful! thanks

thanks for the video! :)

Thank you for this video

Thank you for useful video. Is it possible to share the cad or pdf of these details?! Some link for download? I will be really thankful

question, why is the roof sloping towards the center , instead of outside?

Nice video could you add a video about complete in detail estimating of one of foundation plan.

Thanks for sharing .

Usually the RES-check is on the details right ?

Very helpful. Thank you.

Hi John thanks very much for sharing your knowledge. Please send or add a link of the program you are using to zoom part of the plans. thanks again

Thank you.

thanks, very helpful

I wish videos like this would / could post a *.pdf of the plans. I understand why they can't, but there aren't a lot of good copys of plans floating around to dig through on learn on.

Hi John..it will be possible to get a copy of the structural drawing from you. was it right the schedule of such detail is can be found in contract drawing? How to find the specific requirements that will be transfer to shop drawing..hope you can help thanks..

much appreciated

It is very helpful, you are really professional engineer. I would like one request if you can mentione in details codes used in drawings which will help me to read more easy. I did subscribe your chanal, when ever you will update video I will get notification.

Pls share more videos about construction. Better than go to class because you do a better job.

Usually the dimensions are shown on the architectural dwg.

Thanks a lot

Why do architects and engineers show headers and beams on a different floor than they are actually on? Very useful and well done. *liked*

Thank you!

is this drawing made usin autocad

good stuff for me. Thanks

Very good info

Thank you very very much

thank you

It is a good lecture.

Nice video thanks
