Civil Design with AutoCAD & Estimation
An introductory project track covering drawing literacy, 2D AutoCAD drafting, residential planning basics, quantity estimation, and site-visit documentation.
A real sequence, not a playlist
Six numbered weeks. Every week ends in a deliverable a reviewer actually checks — plan roughly twenty focused hours per week.
Course workspace: 23 lessons · 11 reads · 6 checkpoints · 6 reviewed builds
- 01~20h effort
Week 1 · Drawing Literacy & Standards
- —Plans, sections, and elevations: reading a full set

Deliverable: Planning sheet for a small residential unit
- 04~20h effort
Week 4 · Estimation & Costing
- —Quantity take-off from drawings with units discipline
- —Abstract sheets and rate-analysis basics
- —BOQ preparation for one residential unit
Deliverable: BOQ and estimation sheet for one unit
- 05~20h effort
Week 5 · Site Documentation
- —Site-visit checklist and measurement-book entries
- —Progress photography and level-checking literacy
- —Safety, scaffolding, and material-stacking notes
Deliverable: Site-visit report with measurements
- 06~20h effort
Week 6 · Final Project Review
- —Project reflection on drafting and estimation decisions
- —Completion review against the published rubric
- —Training-completion record when requirements are met
Deliverable: Final project submission
What you actually build
No copy-paste tutorials or toy repos. Every enrolled student submits a production-grade portfolio project evaluated against an industry rubric.
Residential Unit Plan, BOQ & Site-Visit File
Civil documentation file: AutoCAD 2D plan and section plotted to scale, quantity estimation and BOQ, plus a measurement-backed site-visit report.
Portfolio Deliverables Checked by Reviewers
Checked by named reviewers
Reviewers are named at cohort start and published with the batch. They check every submission against the rubric — passing names appear on the certificate.
- Every submission checked against a published academic and technical rubric
- One fair remediation attempt if a deliverable falls short of acceptance threshold
- No certificate without passing code checks — payment never substitutes genuine review
- Cryptographic verification QR permanently linked to your individual submission records
