PSS



October

Week of 08-12
We just finished a school project in Grabouw for a multifunctional school. It was a great experience working with classmates as a team. The project finished smoothly, with no injuries and any problems. Back at work it seemed like I had been gone for a year, everything in every project was at an advanced level even some of the office standards had been revised. I continued with my council submissions. We are almost finished with a project in Camps Bay….It looks like heaven on earth---some things never make much aesthetic sense on paper until it is built.   

Week of 15-19
I started working on working drawings for a project in Mazepa. I am a little nervous, it is the first time I am working on full scale working drawings…so far it looks great even though it is taking longer than I thought.  I went to council to pick up drawings for a further submission with the Province…It looks like I know most council departments now, I actually like it. Unfortunately weekends always separates from our work, am off to mine…….

We were at site, seeing structures go up boost up my confidence with each brick that gets laid up.

I just attempted to sketch a building in Sketch up, it is great but does not feel good as hand drawing..

Week of 30 July – 03 August
I have been working on a major project in the office; I did not do much in draughting of floor plans, sections and elevations but floor finishes, wall finishes, steel layouts and ceiling finishes were my babies.

Week of 06-10
Window, door and shutter schedules- I think anyone in the office think that they are what I am meant to do, or maybe it is because I do them so well….they are all I did in the whole week.

Week of 20-24
We have been under pressure; we have a deadline to meet. One of our biggest houses had to be billed for elemental estimate. The week moved so fast,

Week of 27-31
I am on the schedules again but on a different project…it is at its tender stage. The week ended well with an office outing to a restaurant in Constantia.

Second & Third week in the office!!

The offices keep getting busy with each passing minute! We just got another project at the end of last week.... I loved measuring up the existing house. It has been so busy, new lessons every day.

For the past week, l did window, shutter and door schedules for a project that is already in progress and sections, elevations and roof plan for a new project. AutoCad gets more easy with each command l punch- there  is a lot to discover.

Oh....I have been given the responsibility to run all council submissions- I go to the council every Tuesday and Thursday.

I look forward to the coming week.
