Ep.1350 - How to Approach Studying Your Drawings

How to Read Construction Drawings Without Overwhelm

When you get a brand-new set of drawings, where do you even start? In this episode, I share my step-by-step method for reviewing drawings in a way that’s organized, relevant, and manageable no matter your role or experience level.

We’ll cover how to match your review to the phase of the project, why focusing only on the next 6 weeks is a game-changer, and how to use trade partners as a resource for clarity. I also explain the “phase specialization” approach I learned from a great superintendent, and why breaking the review into short, focused sessions will save you from burnout.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a mountain of construction documents, this episode will help you create a repeatable system that keeps you in control and ahead of the work.
