Understand What You're Actually Looking At When They Show You a Beautiful Render
A practical course in reading architectural plans and technical documentation for real estate projects. Learn to distinguish a serious project from a PowerPoint with good typography.
The Minimum Essential Knowledge
Four sessions covering everything you need to read and understand technical documentation for real estate projects without architecture or engineering training.
Floor Plans and Sections
Learn to read architectural floor plans, understand sections and elevations, interpret scale and dimensions, and identify structural versus partition walls in technical drawings.
Surface Tables
Understand how surface calculations work, identify covered versus semi-covered areas, read common space allocations, and verify that advertised square meters match actual plans.
Descriptive Memorandum
Decode technical specifications, understand construction materials and finishes, identify quality indicators in written documentation, and spot vague or missing information.
Construction Schedule
Read construction timelines and milestones, understand realistic versus optimistic schedules, identify critical phases and dependencies, and recognize red flags in project timing.
Visual Technical Training
We use real examples from completed projects in Argentina. You learn to analyze actual technical documentation, not theoretical exercises.
Real Project Documentation
Every session works with technical documentation from completed buildings in Argentina. You see how plans translate to finished construction and learn to identify discrepancies.
No Prior Technical Knowledge Required
The course assumes no background in architecture or engineering. We start from basic principles and build practical reading skills systematically over four sessions.
Focus on Critical Reading
Learn to spot inconsistencies between renders and plans, identify missing information, recognize quality indicators, and distinguish complete documentation from marketing materials.
Practical Visual Skills
This is visual training in reading technical drawings. You develop the ability to understand what you're looking at when reviewing project documentation for real estate investments or purchases.
From Marketing Render to Technical Reality
Learn to bridge the gap between beautiful visualizations and actual construction documentation.
Four Practical Sessions
Each session builds on the previous one, developing your ability to read and analyze technical documentation systematically.
Session 1: Plans and Sections
Learn to read floor plans, understand architectural sections and elevations, interpret scale and dimensions, and identify structural elements in technical drawings.
Session 2: Surface Calculations
Understand surface tables, verify square meter calculations, distinguish between different area types, and identify common calculation methods and discrepancies.
Session 3: Technical Specifications
Read descriptive memorandums, understand material specifications, identify quality indicators in documentation, and recognize incomplete or vague technical descriptions.
Session 4: Construction Timelines
Analyze construction schedules, understand project phases and dependencies, identify realistic versus optimistic timelines, and recognize schedule-related risk factors.
