Drawings and Specifications Series

This is one of the two courses we are presently working on.  The AV Systems Series is the other.

Drawings are pictorial representations of the system and specifications are written descriptions of the system that we are designing or installing.  This course will teach what are the essentials for drawings and specs and how to create and use them properly.  Note: Installers should learn how to create specs and drawings for design build projects and drawings for doing as-builts.
