Matt, your a better teacher than any professor I had in college. The key to communication is brevity. Your brief and concise explanations are awesome!

[raystraining]

DUDE! Yes. This is what i wanted from a builder for a while, I'm glad it was you to explain it.

[Cheo]

Yes, please ! Make the “cross-reference architecture and structured “series .
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

[mikelee]

you said it perfectly, architects make things look pretty and structural engineers make it work

Hey Matt! Thank you for putting in the time to do this. And helping us young carpenters develop our careers further.

I'm glad I have time to learn from YouTube again, and you're the first person I looked up! I appreciate the knowledge you share and I admire how humble you are. I've been pursuing a career in construction for years, and every employer has failed to give me the opportunities I deserved. I'm transitioning out of the military and found a great company that is teaching me a lot. As I commented on your IG, I feel so behind and unworthy starting as a laborer for the 5th time in my life. I asked my superintendent for advice on moving up fast, and he told me to learn to read plans so here I am! You motivate and inspire me brother. I hope to be in a position with endless knowledge like you are.

Hey Brother just wanna say thank you for taking the time to teach people how to read prints. I've been a carpenter almost 15 years and sometimes you really don't get the opportunity to practice reading prints on the job.

[migueljr]

[joecost]

I have a job interview for assistant Superintendent for a home building company, i have 16 years of welding/fabricating and i know how to read those blueprints. I am trying to prep for blueprint questions. These are so Thankyou!!!

[gsaarchitecturalmechanical]

Thank you very much much bro. Well explained, I am a draftsman and I am still learning about plans details, please continue to make more plan reading videos, God bless

[edwardj.beauchampmendez]

Thanks so much for these very useful videos. As a young architect, these videos have helped me to review what I already learned in the Technical and Construction document class when I was in architecture school. I hope to watch more videos like this. Thanks again!

[SkeightErday]

I saw in the comments someone was asking for this, nice job getting to it so fast!

[svensvrgen]

Thank you Matt you are a wealth of knowledge! I'm committed to forever being an "apprentice", and constantly learning.
