Construction blueprint reading offered

The correct interpretation of blueprint reading is vital to every phase of a construction project. All too often on a job site, stockpiled materials await return to the supplier or there is a shortage of products that stops or delays a crew. This lost momentum results in slowed productivity which costs companies money.

Local building contractor Carroll Poindexter will teach an evening construction blueprint reading class through Southwestern Community College starting in June.

Such loss can be avoided by developing blue print reading skills through Southwestern Community College’s Construction Blue Print class that starts Tuesday, June 6, at the SCC Macon Center behind and next to the courthouse in downtown Franklin. The course will meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. for seven weeks. The registration fee is $55.

Carroll Poindexter will be the instructor. Poindexter currently owns and operates Wolf River Construction, Inc., which provides general contracting services for renovations, additions and new residential homes. Poindexter brings to the classroom a wealth of knowledge gained through 14 years as a job foreman and five years in estimating and project management.

To register for this course, contact an SCC Center nearest you, or phone Keith Corbeil at the SCC Business Assistance Center at 488-6413. Or send e-mail to kcorbeil@southwesterncc.edu.
