CSI & AGC Collaborate on Blueprint Training Course

Posted: Thu, Aug 13, 2026

The Knoxville AGC and CSI are again collaborating to present their Blueprint Training Course at the AGC offices on Ragsdale Ave. The 6 week course has drawn 30 to 60 people each year for a number of years. The attendees represent a wide range of members of the construction industry including contractors, subcontractors, cost estimators, loan officers, interior designers and product representatives. Each week experts from the industry guide the attendees through portions of the contract documents, helping them to read the documents and understand the relationships vital to ensuring quality construction.

The schedule this year is as follows:

  • Thursday, August 20, 2026:  Introduction to Contract Documents – Drawings
  • Thursday, August 27, 2026:  Introduction to Contract Documents – Specifications
  • Thursday, September 3, 2026:  Civil Engineering
  • Thursday, September 10, 2026:  Structural Engineering
  • Thursday, September 17, 2026:  Plumbing, Mechanical, & Fire Protection Engineering
  • Thursday, September 24, 2026:  Electrical Engineering

CSI is pleased to have been a part of this effort for many years as we have seen that the class, as John Ewart, AGC Executive Director says, "strengthens the construction community".
