Office # 10

In the office...

We had only worked for 4 days in this week. Sort week, yet lots to do...

Yusuf and I were still busy touching up "Miller Road's tender documents". Minor changes and additions to the drawings. However, more details were to be drawn up. So we had basically worked on details for this project for this week.

We were again assigned  together to work on some measured drawings. We had to redraw the engineer's drawings, as to check if all his drawings were correct. This was for a block of flats in Harfield, Claremont. The measured drawings included the Engineer's foundation, basement, ground and first floor plans. These were drawn on a grid. The grid is a reference to the column positions and distances apart (horizontally and vertically). We started having problems with the Engineer's drawings, as his grid lines were not consistent on all his drawings. Therefore, it confused the column's distances and positions. However, we drew it as per plans. Noel put these drawings together and is still to schedule a meeting with the engineer to discuss his mistakes. 

I learned here that it is vital to check the engineer's drawings even if it takes up more time and effort. It could be fatal to the building if the engineer's drawings and dimensions aren't correct. 

For Mr Lamb, this Saturday's office session will be canceled due to a function he has to attend. 

Thanks,
