Principles of Construction Documentation (PCD)
Course Description:
The PCD course is an introductory course that will enable
the student to have a better understanding of construction documentation
(specifications, drawings, and schedules), products, bidding procedures,
and contracts. It is also a prerequisite to all the other CSC education
courses.
The course is designed for individuals involved in the
construction industry, who at any point in their career are required to
produce, read, supply products for, or rely on, the project
manual/specification. In other words, it is designed for anyone in construction,
whether they work as a designer, consultant, contractor or supplier.
The focus is to emphasize the relationship that exists
between specifications and drawings, and the role of the industry participants.
Contract documents and the project manual have an intrinsic relationship with
each other, with standard pre-printed contract documents, and with associated
documents; this course explains these relationships.
This course is
the introduction needed for taking the Specifier (SP) course, and is required
to take the Technical Representative (TR) and Construction Contract Administration
(CCA) courses.
