This video is first of MANY I didn’t go in depth on many architectural details, as it’ll be a separate video Bear with me, I’m not a public speaker, but I packed some info in herebrbrThis video was SIMPLY flipping through the plans explaining the architecturalbrbrI’m going to get framing started on this build, and film a couple videos showing the details in person and on paper It’s difficult to explain without showing in person

Your video is so well explained, I'm currently starting my as a general contractor and have so many questions that you eanswered on your video Framing is something that scares me a bit in terms of plan reading, and I want to thank you for doing videos like this since so many people are found in my same situation and they can get helped with your experienced trade I'm currently residing and working in Los Angeles, CA, and getting on the profession, I want to raise up my skills and knowledge to get beter, let's go for it 😅

Thanks Matt for putting the time and efford for creating this video You considered 2 inches of casing for the door framing but you did not consider it for the windows The framers I work with have always been considering casings for both doors and windows Can you explain it please Thanks

Comment from : Charles Elliott

Do all the sheetsbrbrAlso if you couldbrbrTalk about the process how you understand why: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, etc Will not be in your way when you buildbrbrIm in Cali and I think it's great that you clarify that for the rest of people We all have different standards Our's happens to be one of the most stringent
Comment from : Smith Smitherson

Is panelized plans different than stick build homes as far as reading them
Comment from : Michael Preston

What I also think ppl get confused on are the walls on the blueprint being the top plates you see like at 7:03 I only figured it once I realized going back 3 1/2 was because the studs are 3 1/2 wide which helped identify what was going to be a wall and that rlly helped

Dropped outta high school and started framing That’s my boy

Comment from : Greg E Valdez

Man I love your channel I have been doing carpentry off and on my whole life but until the last few years, I have decided to make a career out of it This video in particular has been extremely helpful to me because like you said, nobody has the time to stop and teach in this much detail I have been recently really applying myself to learn how to read the drawings and it’s been much easier than I expected I appreciate your help and detailed breakdowns of things in the simplest way Thank you bro Keep it coming👍
Comment from : Wesceefrazen

Comment from : Sterling Witherspoon

Thank you for this informative lesson I'm a 63 year old retired teacher turned handyman I decided to build my own house scratching my head while looking at the new plans It was all foreign to me I've watched a lot of YouTube videos, yours is one of the most informative Another is Essential Craftsman Now I am more confident with my plans knowing how to navigate through every little detail Just finished charting my foundation using batter boards and Pythagorus calculations So cool! Ready to dig the footings and so on Thanks once again for your videos They are extremely educational

Helluva channel you got here, Matt Keep up the good work
Comment from : Steven

My problem is that I can’t figure out which detail refers to which number when it doesn’t specify I was wondering if you have any tips for that?
Comment from : TheChosenOne

a big thumbs up I am 67 trying to break into house building ( I want to work 6 more years ) Still strong as an ox, but when it comes to plan reading, dumb as an ox too So yeah , I will take plans home and study so I am more effective at work Tired of avoiding the plans I am a carpenter who don't do layout or use lasers, but I can build Even at my age I will be absolutely delighted if I can stay sharp and keep learning
Comment from : richard brophy

You said "architects make things pretty" (4:50)brWhat a vague way to say something you know nothing about!! And of course, you dropped out of shool SHOCKER! You obviously have no respect for someone who has been struggling for an education brbrI am an architect, and I didn't go to school for 8 years to "only" make things pretty There is way more you need to learn before you start explaining what an architect does brYour comment is offensive
Comment from : Sam Valdez
