Week 19

This week I finished the base drawing of the tricky office building we went to measure up which had no existing plans. It was a bit of a struggle but got it right in the end.
My boss has also allowed me to help design the guest house I am currently drawing up, which is the first project this year I am working on that is on a naked site :). There are quite a few different thing in it that you have to think about.
I also did some colouring in of plans this week which i haven't done in a while.
I took a set of plans which i had previously drawn up to council for scrutiny fees and approval. there was even a letter from the house owners association that had to he handed in with the plans to say that the bored has approved the plan too.
Other than that I have just been doing little alterations on a few of the older plans that I've worked on.

Week 18

Well it was a short week and this is gonna be a shorter blog entry...
This whole week I've been busy with the draughting of the offices we measured up last week.
We did go back for check measurements, because it is a very tricky building.
Otherwise I spent some time draughting site sections from a land surveyor and doing the sections of the new house that goes onto that.
Things have been so busy, but im trying to catch up on my projects and excersizes that i have fallen behind in.
Its coming along slowly but surely...

Week 17

Glad the blog is up and running again.
Right so, last week I started a working drawing for a new house, designed from scratch, which is my fisrt 1 this year so im quite happy about that.
Then most of my week was spent on doing changes on a office block in loop street. That was long, slow, annoying work because i had to realign the whole 5th floor with the engineers plans, because the the building was origionally drawn up incorrectly.
We also went to measure up an office block in Tokai which doesnt have any existing plans. I'm busy working on that at the moment.
And finally did a little work on changing notes in low cost housing plan.
Later..........

Week 16

It's been a refreshing week back at work this week.
Things that I've worked on this week in the office are:
I did the final layout of some of the low cost housing for 13 houses and there conservancy tanks.
We went to measure up an existing house in Pine Town for extensions under the external area and open patio.
I've been helping my work colleague on a steel framed structure above existing office blocks. Unfortunately i wont be able to put that into my portfolio though.
I got to work on my 3D structure for the camp sight a little bit but I'm going to have to change that now though. I'm also working on the final plans for that now...
Well thats all this short week :)
