This program covers the aspects of basic residential constructions. Beginning level students will learn to use hand-tools, portable and stationary power tools. Students will work on the framing of walls, floors and roofs and get experience working with siding, roofing, drywall, doors, windows and interior trim. Emphasis will be placed on reading blueprints as students work together to construct a full-size house in the shop. Estimation and related math skills are needed. This course offers National Center for Construction Education and Research Accreditation.
In year two of this course, commercial construction techniques are introduced (forming concrete, metal studs, suspended ceilings) and work will be done at job sites off of school grounds. Students who qualify as Tech Prep may earn 9 semester hours of college credit.
Course does not include the cost of tools
