QCTO Bricklayer Learner Guide 6 – KM01 – KT02

This topic is intended to educate you on construction drawings, what they provide, how to store them, how to handle them and the consequences of misreading a drawing or using the wrong one. As a bricklayer, you must understand how to read and interpret drawings and specifications. Drawings communicate the design of your project, while specifications provide the finer details that need to be written down. Drawings with specifications communicate the quantities of materials to be used, the quality of work expected, and the workmanship recommended.
