Great read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great for beginners *by S***N on April 2, 2025* wife loves it says its teaching her more than what the class is going over. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blue print reading, how to read blue prints *by A***N on April 17, 2010* so far its going pretty well from the reading, I like the outline of the book its clear and concise. first 2 chapters may spend a little time on what blue printing is made on what types of paper and other cad related issues but from chapter 3 on out about lines dimensions and truly understanding how to read blue prints, I recommend this book. not fully finished so I will be giving a closing review. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blueprint Reading: Construction Drawings for the Building Trade - Construction Project Estimating 101: For Beginners & New Graduates (Construction Careers Series) - Construction Project Management 101: For Beginners & New Graduates 2024 Student Edition (Construction Careers Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4104402-blueprint-reading-construction-drawings-for-the-building-trade](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4104402-blueprint-reading-construction-drawings-for-the-building-trade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-10-18*
