Five connected courses
Where design intent becomes buildable information.
Students connect building systems, interior detailing, coordinated drawing packages, cost control, and professional responsibilities—developing the judgement needed to move a project toward delivery.
- Focus
- Construction & documentation
- Learning
- Detail, coordinate & specify
- Outcome
- Buildable, accountable design
The delivery pathway
From building logic to professional action.
Detail
Resolve junctions, finishes, joinery, and wet areas.
Coordinate
Assemble plans, sections, elevations, and schedules.
Cost
Quantify materials, specifications, and project value.
Deliver
Frame scope, contracts, communication, and practice.
01
Building Technology & Construction
Understanding what holds a space together.
Students examine the systems behind an interior—from foundations, floors, walls, roofs, and stairs to ceilings and essential services.

02
Construction Studies 1
Design decisions resolved at detail scale.
Interior assemblies are developed through dimensions, material build-ups, fixing methods, specifications, and coordinated elevations.

Construction Studies 2
A coordinated package tells one complete story.
Students progress from isolated drawings to an integrated construction set where plans, reflected ceilings, sections, doors, stairs, and schedules agree.

04
Budget Costing & Documentation
Every specification carries a quantity and a cost.
Drawings become procurement information through material schedules, product specifications, measurement, rates, estimates, and documented totals.
Scope+Specification+Quantity×Rate=Estimate
05
Professional Practice
Technical confidence meets business responsibility.
Students define a practice, communicate its value, structure services, manage client expectations, and translate agreements into clear professional commitments.
Positioning
Mission, audience, and market direction.
Services
Scope, deliverables, and responsibilities.
Contracts
Terms, fees, approvals, and change control.
Management
Time, communication, and project coordination.
Education connected to delivery
Think beyond the drawing.
Design for what comes next.
By linking construction knowledge with documentation, costing, and practice, students learn to make design decisions that are clear, coordinated, and ready to move forward.
