Dunwoody College of Technology taught me how important education is. I received my Associates of Applied Science in Architectural Drafting and Estimating and became Construction Document Technologist (CDT) Certified through the Construction Specification Institute.

 

While studying architecture at Dunwoody I learned about hand and computer drafting within AutoCAD. I also learned REVIT in depth and how complicated BIM software’s may be.

 

The ESTIMATING portion of the program taught me how to estimate quick take off as well as to how to work with estimating databases such as Timberline. In addition I learned how calculate load capacities, sheer tension, distributions and compression which then allowed me to select beam and columns for a structure.

 

Project management taught me how buildings schedule are put together. Buildings codes were an important part of the program they introduced me to construction types, zoning, ADA and other important codes.
