All blueprint-symbols for homebuilders

architect

I have had many requests for blueprint-symbols from students, instructors, and even contractors. I didn't know it was such a popular subject. Symbols for blueprints can be a little confusing.

I must suppose with all the regulation from inspectors and lawmakers, these symbols are increasingly important in building construction.
There was a time when architects had to be on the building site to help decipher blueprint symbols, but that has changed. Now, general contractors are a little smarter and they have to know how to read blueprints.
I know I'm going to get my butt kicked by some big, burly general contractor one of these days for poking fun at them. Anyway, for now, let's learn some blueprint symbols.
There are basically, the electrical, architectural, and plumbing symbols.
I have provided a quick and dirty chart to these three areas if you only want to know the very basics on my blueprints page.
