- In today's video I am showing how to read drawings in construction and how to take basic information and what to have a look when dealing with drawings. I am using a GA drawing and few sections showing how they work together and what particular lines mean.

Mery chrismes Greg. I hope so you will be continue your chanel in 2023 happy new year as well. Take care.
Merry Christmas!! I will continue 100%, hope you will like coming vids 😁
You are very kind to share your knowledge Craig
Thanks Henry!
Hi Mate you are a true gem. Would love a video please where you are explaining, errors and mistakes that are possible in setting out aswell as how we cam reduce and avoid those errors please would truly appreciate. I think most of us junior engineers need that info plzzzzm
Hi! Good idea, I will do one like this, for now I am getting back access to my YT account as I am on holiday and couldn't add the video.
Best channel ever!!!
Thank you Danilo 👍👍👍
Ur doing great job man
Am really thanking you deeply from my heart please more videos
More knowledge because knowledge is power and you literally giving us 💥 power
Thank you👍👍 There will be more I promise, and comments like yours give me the power 😁
Thank you greg I like to calibrate the plan view drawings in bluebeam then convert pdf to png using an online converter then in photoshop create a very large high resolution pixel canvas and then crop and stitch the drawings together then export the drawings as one large high resolution PNG then in my cad program geo locate it. And use them as layerd backgrounds. So I have all of the information in one place. There is a way to use google chrome settings to give you 8k resolution maps as well but this is only really for delivery of measured cable networks for roads or towns or just to have a presentation pdf of planned works.
Thank you again
Hi doctor! Not sure how to help you, the idea sounds great :) Let me know if you managed please and show us how it looks!
Thank you Greg for knowledge sharing on this channel. Its very helpful what you do.

Wish you were making videos 20 years ago Greg.
Articulate presenting of the information on all your videos
Think I'll buy you a coffee ☕
Where's my coffee? 😉 joking 😁 Happy to help, liking my vids and commenting is much more than coffee and thank you for that.
@@SITENG Hi Greg, I tried paying for the coffee via my card but keeps reverting and insisting on purchasing via PayPal ( I never use PayPal.... Couple of bad previous experiences with it tbh)
I'll try again and do know its not the money that you're interested in. Its the consideration and acknowledgement we all look for. Hinkley Point isn't a sweatshop market 😂😂
thanks sir
Most welcome!
Good information
I am also AutoCAD software known
I am a diploma civil engineering from india
Thanks! Keep looking for something here :)
Thank you for your videos mate 🙏
Glad you like them Tim! Thank you for the comment!
❤️ big love to your videos
Thanks! Happy you enjoy and like the vids!
Great video, I’m hoping to become a civil engineer so this video is interesting
Hi! Thank you, it's not hoping, I am sure if you want to you will be a good civil engineer 😁
@@SITENG 😀👍
good
Thanks
I also need to know the methodology used for calculating steel quantity since back in India it is quite different as we calculate the weight of the bar by multiplying with its bar weight however in Canada, it's quite different as I can see from the textbook that it is given in terms of mass criteria as kg/mt and even the bar sizes too, they are different, as I can see they are shown in 10M whereas in India it is given in mm. So, I hereby request you to make a video on calculating steel and concrete quantities.
Hi! Rebar quants depending on design so if you know how many kg you still need to 'change' it for the rebar di and spacing. UK is in mm as well. I am not calculating rebar quantity as these is provided on the rebar schedule drawings - I only take 1 cube off concrete for every 7850kg steel for the big big pours ;)
Great ❤
Thanks! Happy you like it!
I am interested in Robotic total station training in/near London. Please help me out
I don't know anything I can recommend, my course will be ready soon, but that's on line. Hope you will find something 👍👍
Is the step at the soffit functions as drop beam ??
Hi! Not always, often it's just a step and to make it possible you need the fold in the slab which creates that thickening.
I just looking for a construction work... Iam a site engineer in India.. How do I apply the company. Here... Give me the advice bro
Hi Matty! I promise to do a video in February about it, so please wait for it and till then watch and like my other videos to see how to job looks here in UK 😁😁😁
Hello Siteng! Would you recomend any course before start applying for an engineer position? I'm graduated in civil engineer but when I moved to uk I completely change my job types... I'm wondering try to come back to the site
Hi Andre! Don't wait for a course, start applying now and if you think you need a course then look for one, I can't really recommend any for now. Apply for a junior engineer, or assistant engineer positions.
@@SITENG thank you!!
No problem Andre! I am currently working on the course, but it will be ready next year.
What is the software you use for drawing the project?
Hi! It's Bluebeam Revu, really great soft.
FIRST , 1ST PRIMUL
Thanks for comment :)
😁😁 messed up a few times for not fully reading the drawing
Yeah I know this too :)
