FLOOR PLANS 2: Dimensions and Requirements

About Floor Plans 2

What You Will Learn

Floor Plans 2 teaches English vocabulary for dimensions, sizes, and space requirements on architectural floor plans. You will learn how to describe room dimensions, explain dimensioning systems, discuss minimum and maximum space requirements, and communicate plan changes clearly in English.

This course helps architects, engineers, and construction professionals communicate dimensional information and resolve spatial issues on architectural drawings.

Who Should Take This Course

Floor Plans 2 is for construction professionals who need technical English vocabulary for dimensions and space requirements:

Architects and Designers working on international projects need English to discuss dimensions, area requirements, code compliance, and technical specifications with clients, consultants, and contractors.

Structural Engineers must understand dimensional information to coordinate designs, verify clearances, and discuss load-bearing requirements in English.

MEP Engineers use floor plan dimensions to coordinate equipment locations, calculate service areas, and verify clearances. Technical vocabulary for dimensions supports effective MEP coordination.

Construction Estimators and Quantity Surveyors need dimensional vocabulary to calculate quantities, estimate costs, and prepare material takeoffs.

Interior Designers and Space Planners need dimensional vocabulary to verify furniture fit, ensure accessibility compliance, and coordinate interior layouts with architectural plans.

Building Code Officials and Plan Reviewers working internationally need English vocabulary to discuss dimensional requirements, verify code compliance, and explain minimum standards.

Learning Approach

The course uses a three-step learning sequence:

Think: Checkpoint activities identify terms you know and concepts that need focused study.

Study: Video lectures present dimensional vocabulary with real floor plan examples. Each video demonstrates how measurements and requirements are naturally expressed in professional contexts. Videos include pronunciation practice and immediate application.

Practice: Interactive exercises use real architectural floor plans. Activities include reading dimensional annotations, calculating areas, interpreting code requirements, and writing technical descriptions.
