Develop the skills and knowledge you need to become a building design draftsperson of residential buildings.

In this course you will develop a comprehensive understanding of how residential buildings are constructed and communicated through drawings and documentation.

You will learn how to communicate the design intent of a building designer to ensure that a construction project is successfully documented to achieve the desired outcome for the client.

You will develop the skills and knowledge required to understand how buildings are constructed, the materials used and the compliance framework buildings must be designed in accordance with.

The course also covers working in a building design environment, conducting inspections of sites before design work starting, and design of structural and services systems for residential buildings.

These skills will be applied by using CAD software to draft and document Class 1 and Class 10 building designs.

The course is fully online and comprises morning and afternoon sessions three days a week. A commitment of at least 30 hours a week of independent study is also required.
