What's inside
What you get
- Drawing literacy: title blocks, revisions, legends, section markers, risers, shafts, core holes, flow arrows — annotated on fictional drawings.
- Site-walk observation categories: safety controls, access routes, temporary works, MEP services, penetrations and firestopping, housekeeping, documentation, escalation notes.
- The confidentiality line: what you can discuss publicly and what must never leave site.
- Practice exercises: decode two fictional drawing sheets and write one observation note.
Preview
Inside: one annotated fictional drawing spread and the observation-categories page.
Who it's for
For candidates who will attend site walks or work near construction — contractor, CSA, coordination, and facilities-adjacent roles — and operations candidates who want drawing vocabulary.
Who it's not for
Not an engineering drafting course.
How to use it
A clear way to work through it.
Read the drawing-literacy section once, then do both decode exercises before any interview that might discuss drawings or site conditions.

Questions
Questions about the Site Walk Decoder.
Are these real site drawings?
No — every example is fictional and public-safe by design.
Do I need CAD or special software?
No — it's a PDF you read. You only need to understand what the symbols and cues mean, not to draw anything yourself.
