How to Design + Draw Construction Details (Start to Finish)

Designing a sheet of details from start to finish for a custom, one-of-a-kind fireplace. I’ll show you everything involved in bringing a design concept through to construction. I discuss how to develop and reinforce the design concept using details, how I lay out my drawing sheets, how you can use code constraints to shape your designs, why using consultants is so important and you’ll learn how I take an idea about form and experience and translate it into a set of construction details.
