Course Outline:
I. Introduction and reading

A. Introduction to the International Building Code (IBC).

B. Access requirements for people with disabilities based on the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations.

C. Floor plan components and symbols

D. Review Zoning Ordinance requirements.

II. Drawing of Floor Plan given a program document, review it to make sure it complies with barrier free requirements, meets the clients needs, and the dimensions add up. Draw the floor plan using Building Information Modeling, BIM.

III. BIM Drawing of Site Plan-given zoning set backs, parking requirements, and handicapped requirements.

IV. Develop alternative elevations for the building, using online catalogs and manufacturer websites to inform design decisions.

V. Identify the appropriate building sections and corresponding wall sections. Using sketches and referencing similar projects to develop and show the appropriate information.

VI. BIM Drawing of Structural Plan. Using the existing floor plan, a steel joist table and other reference material to determine the appropriate size joist for the building.

VII. BIM Drawing of Foundation Plan and Details. Using the existing floor plan and structure, to draw the foundation plan with details.

VIII. BIM Drawing of Interior Elevations and Details. Using the existing floor plan, and a previous drawing exercises to show appropriate information.

IX. Using the BIM model make a color rendering of the building and display on cover sheet.

X. Assemble the Drawings into a complete set of working drawings for the building complete with an index, construction notes, and schedules.
