electrical equipment, etc.
My answer:
Get a set of CD plans, look through the elec. Drawings,
pay attention to the single line diagrams. Use the legend on the front to understand
the symbols.

Question:
Advice for construction detailing areas to focus study time on?
I have moved on to CE from from PcM and PjM so I think I'm pretty comfortable with what I have to cover for the contracts and admin procedures side of things. Reading through posts on here and some advice blogs, it seems like there are quite a lot of specific construction detail and code questions - I had presumed they were all confined to the PA/PPD/PDD side of the exams. Any advice on the extent or depth of code & construction knowledge required for CE? Any recommended resources that have been helpful to you?
Thanks, and good luck on your journey!
My answer:
If you want to use one sentence to summarize
the 2"-thick spec book: "Don't leak, don't fall."
Focus on the details that keep the water and
moisture out of the building, the "don't leak" part.
The "don't fall" part is
handled by the structural engineer.
