Learn how to plan attractive and functional spaces, communicate ideas professionally, and create interior presentations that clients can understand. The training combines design principles, space planning, technical documentation, material selection and photorealistic visualization.
- Plan residential and commercial interior spaces.
- Develop colour, material and furniture concepts.
- Produce interior layouts and technical drawings.
- Design ceilings, lighting arrangements and fitted elements.
- Create presentation boards and realistic interior renders.
- Complete a portfolio-ready interior design project.
Quantities and Estimation with PlanSwift
Learn how to measure construction quantities directly from digital drawings and prepare structured take-offs and cost estimates using PlanSwift. The course is suitable for quantity-surveying students, contractors, estimators, technicians and construction professionals who want a faster digital workflow.
- Read architectural and construction drawings.
- Set up drawings correctly in PlanSwift.
- Measure areas, lengths, volumes and item counts.
- Organize digital quantity take-offs.
- Prepare structured estimates and summaries.
- Check and present measurement information professionally.
Looking for another course?
We are also measuring demand for MEP with Revit, Structural Analysis and Design, Computer Literacy, Kitchen and Cabinet Design, and other professional courses. Choose 'Another course' in the form and tell us what you would like to study.
Training designed around what you must be able to do.
Our training goes beyond watching software demonstrations. Learners practise each stage of the workflow, complete assignments and produce a final project that demonstrates their skills.
Live instruction
Learn directly from an instructor, ask questions and receive guidance while working through practical exercises.
Practical projects
Apply each lesson to realistic architectural, interior design or construction-estimation projects.
Beginner-friendly learning
No previous software experience is required for the introductory courses. Learners are guided through the tools and professional workflow step by step.
Portfolio development
Architectural and interior design learners complete projects they can include in their professional portfolios.
Class recordings
Recorded class sessions are provided where applicable, allowing learners to review important demonstrations after class.
Learning community
Learners join the DSD community and can continue receiving updates, opportunities and professional-development information.
Recognized centre
DSD is an Autodesk Authorized Training Centre delivering professional software training through approved training arrangements.
Leave with evidence of what you can do.
The exact output depends on the selected course. By the end of the training, learners may produce:
- A coordinated architectural drawing set.
- A complete Revit building model.
- Interior space plans and presentation boards.
- Photorealistic interior or exterior renders.
- Digital construction quantity take-offs.
- A structured project estimate.
- A final project presentation.
- Portfolio-ready project material.
Course completion does not guarantee employment or professional licensing. Results depend on attendance, practice, project quality and the learner's existing qualifications.
