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.

Phew!! Being indoors behind a computer, running around to council, visiting the site, measuring on site is some of the most scariest things l had to deal with this week. 
Thanks good heavens I am in a small firm, only the six of us, wow! I am included in every little thing they do, l love the cohesion in the firm- team work and family spirit at its best. I hope things work out well throughout the year, and l pray for blessings from God.


General Work Observations.


The most important thing l learnt this week is every line on an architectural drawing means a lot. I have been working closely with the technologist, he analysis every line with great attention. No drawing is issued for tender, council approval or construction purposes without being triple checked.


Never ever trust builders! Great attention and follow ups are needed to check if the building is being constructed to detail.


The architect should be equipped with knowledge of many branches of study and varied kinds of learning.



It was such a busy and interesting week.
