can U read blue prints ?

I know what your thinking of course you can , to be a builder you must know how to read blue prints.
Sadly this is not the case with a lot of builders yes they can look at wall placement and fig out floor joist the simple layout stuff but when it comes to cross ref for point loads or nailing patterns for trusses and beams then it is a hole new story,
I can not tell how many story's I have heard from building inspectors about contractor not having a clue.
It is the responsibility of the builder to have the place ready for inspection not for the inspector to give them a list of things to fix and how to do it .

sadly this is the case more often than not , part of being a good builder is knowing the hole job so that you know what you are talking about and can do professional work.

Most builder did not go to school to learn we learn from others as we work our way up so it is up to those that are teaching to teach I show my guys everything so that when they go on their own they are equipped with the right tools to succeed.

The one most important part to this job is blueprint reading with out it you are just guessing.
