Abstract: The basic lore adequate to the building of Supersymmetric models is introduced. An SO(10) model is constructed and an analysis of constraints on the Supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking mass scale is carried out. One finds that M(,S) (TURN) 10('12) GeV if M(,R) and M(,S) are identified. Other motivations for M(,S) to be of this 'intermediate' magnitude are discussed. The potentials in different Poincare Supergravities (SUGRYs) are computed and shown to select the Old-Minimal (OM) version as best suited to model building. The embedding of the Dimopoulos-Raby model in OM SUGRY is studied and the induction of the Grand unified scale from M(,S) demonstrated. A general analysis of decoupling is given along with a discussion of the extension to SO(10) models. In an appendix, we derive the 'complete set' of soft SUSY breaking terms for the supersymmetric Standard model.
