Does anyone have any good (free) resources for construction detailing. I’m trying to move up in my career but struggling due to lack of mentorship//training (staff shortage, everyone is busy) I’m rarely taken on construction sites, and if I am It’s because I pushed for it. I’m a woman and often feel like people are rooting for me to fail or “man splaining.” I’m in the process of getting licensed - just having a hard time getting the actual experience I need to feel competent.

I felt everything you said 100%! I wish I had an answer for you. The only book I know of that I’ve seen on many bookshelves at various firms is “Building construction illustrated by Francis D.K. Ching” but my guess is you’ve probably heard of it already. Google search has a list but hard to know what’s actually useful. Following.
