Course Description |
| This course covers all phases required to build a house. Content areas include cement work, plumbing, wiring, heating, roofing, dry walling, paneling, painting, etc. Students study building codes, learn how to obtain building permits and how to estimate the cost of building a structure. The curriculum requires students to plan and construct a dwelling on a community building site. This is an ideal class for students who expect to earn their living in one of the building trades or for students who want to learn house-building techniques/skills for their own personal use. Students wishing to take a second year of Building Trades Technology must have the instructor's approval. |
