Course Overview
This course will focus on building construction systems and assemblies within the context of building types listed in Part 3 of the BC building code, with a particular emphasis on non-combustible construction. Structural systems covered include steel, concrete and mass timber. The course will also expand on the application of envelope components such as wall assemblies, roofing and windows and will cover aspects of interior partitions and ceilings. To reinforce the above we will apply particular graphics, technical and procedural methods in the development of technical drawings in the context of construction contract documents. Integrated learning opportunities for students may include guest speakers, field trips and project work.
