Currently we have a job which is in its construction phase with means we go to site now and then to do check ups, but any person can only take hospitals to a certain extent and sadly I"m part of that group!

This week i was just working on changes requested to be changes or improved by the contractor. 
so when one thing is changed so does rest of the drawings which means i had to change Ceiling layouts,Elevations, sections and internal elevations.

Other than making a few changes my week was quite monotonous.

That's how my week played out>

Will keep you posted

changes, changes, changes

So this week Ayesha and I were kinder thrown in at the deep end. We were allocated  to do the necessary changes to a job we have never seen before and we had no idea how it looked or how it works.
Luckily one of our colleagues is extremely helpful and kinder took us through  the process of the building/ upgrades that were happening.

We were busy with that for about three and a half days until we got feedback on the project that we needed to get of to the quantity surveyor and  the client but wow they made a lot of changes, some that actually didn't make any sense but that's what the client wants so we got to just go with it.
The problem is that we got the feedback at about 3 and  they wanted the changes done by the end of the day which was kinder impossible  but we got to do what we got to do hey.

So that's how my week played out.

Will keep you posted:)

I arrive at work on Monday only to find out our deadline was actually for the Wednesday because someone had gotten the dates mixed up, which gave my supervisor more time to over think things and change them which isn't fun in our case because we're making all the changes.

So basically this week hasn't been as hectic, it was just all about making final decisions on design ideas making sure everything was draw-up correctly and specified correctly in order to get an accurate estimate for the client.

So that how my week played out.

Will keep you posted:)

Weekend Rush

So this week has been quite hectic in order to meet a deadline to the quantity surveyor, we were so set on meeting the deadline that we we asked to come in on a Saturday... Like really now what intern wants to work on a weekend ;( ...

The funniest thing is that when colleagues are informed that they will be required to work on a Saturday the work gets done so much faster lol. I don't think I've done so many different things in one week and had to be checked and changed constantly.

I was required to do Sections, Details, Changes to elevation, schedules and internal elevations ... but some how it all got done before the clock stroke 4 on Friday and thankfully there was no need to come in the weekend, i couldn't be more relieved lol... i felt i just needed a week to recover from all that lol.

So that how my week played out.

Will keep you posted :)
