Construction 

Course Description: Students will use the first portion of the class to construct a scale model residential structure as they learn how a home is built from the ground up. Topics covered will include foundations, framing, siding, and roofing. As the class continues, students will work in groups as they frame a section of wall and learn basic house wiring, plumbing, and sheet rocking. Students will be exposed to surveying, reading floor plans, and creating estimates. Students will participate in every phase of the construction process from planning to the completion of a building. This is a learning-by-doing course with 75% of the course time devoted to working on projects.
