Week 14

I did council changes for to sets of plans which was last minute changes that the clients wanted before the plans were submitted.
Most of my week was spent on drawing up another set of council plans for a holiday house in Kleinmond.
I also spent allot of time on making change to old plans that were for low cost, informal settlement housing, which is currently being constructed.
Not such an exciting week this week but at least I've got a little holiday coming up now. I took 3days leave and now I've got 11days to catch up on my collage work which I'm falling quite far behind in.
So i will be posting my next blog the week after next :)
Ciao...

Week 13

Me again... I'm almost finished with my first 3D on sketch-up, of the dam that is being converted into a braai lapa, toilet facilities and a washing up area for a camp site.
I completed draughting a set of council plans for a weird garage extension.
I did more working drawings the union textile factory of which one end of the factory is being split up into 3 separate sections to be rented out.
I did a working drawing of internal alterations for a house and they have been reviewed so now I'm currently busy editing it now.
We also went to measure up a house in Kenalworth very close to where i used to live. It proved to be a huge mission, because of the complexity of the design. I'm just so glad i don't have to draw up that base drawing :).
Till next time.............

Week 12

This week my boss was on holiday so my coworker and I had to run the hole office on our own. I must admit its was quite stressful. I did some admin this week which is a change. Other than that I draughted 2 new sets of base drawings.
We went to measure up the external measurements of the Hi-Fi corp. in Claremont as well as surveyed the existing fire and electrical fittings. Gee you know, electrical fittings.... in a Hi-Fi corp.... its a lot!!!
I couloured in quite a few sets of plans for council.
I helped I'm coworker with the working drawings for Arcadia center which needed to be completed by Monday morning.
I also drew up a few sections through a site to indicate the correct ground level from surveyors plans.
on top of that I'm busy working on an electrical layout for a house.
Busy busy week...

Week 11

Well last week was so busy that i didn't have time to do my weekly blog...
Here it is:
I spent the most of last week finishing little bits on allot of different plans before my boss left on holiday on Friday - like putting drawings in title blocks, working out coverage and putting colour onto drawings.
It was a good thing because then it would look better for my portfolio :).
I also when to measure up part of Kraaifontein Spar and Claremont Hi-Fi Corporation.
On top of that i had to go to council to retrieve plans for amendments and to get the scrutiny fees on the two sets of plans that are in my portfolio.
