If you have the opportunity, try to look at the prints on the jobsite. Ask your foreman for help. It is especially helpful to try to see as many pages, as the HVAC/plumbing will be helpful so you can see how they are actually installed, and how they relate to each other on the prints - always a problem when the two are in each others way. Learn the difference between the elevation, plan view, etc... don't forget that the spec page(s) is vital as well.
Purchase a good print reading book and pay attention to the details. Goodluck and be patient, as it takes time and effort to be good at reading prints - seeing the mistakes
