In the office...

A continuation of the busy week we had last week... ('',) 

More work on Miller Road: Now after tendering, we had to take a closer look at some of the drawings. Joinery and sanitary-ware was not fully resolved. 

A new project had come in - a house in Harfield, Wesley Road. This house was very poorly designed, so it's our job now to resolve it. For the mean time I've worked on getting the existing plans onto the cad program, and think of ways to resolve the house design. Noel also took us on site to visit the house take pictures and measure up, so we could get a feel of what needs to be done. What a memorable visit... haha. I almost slipped and fell down those steps. Like I said, very poorly designed: narrow steps & 1.1m head clearance between the nosing of the steps and the rafters. Noel and Yusuf even bumped their heads a few times. Just taught us how important ergonomics are in design, hahaha. 

We also had a site visit to the Princes Road site where blocks of flats are to be constructed soon. At the moment they're busy with the excavation of the basement area.

The project on 2nd Avenue, Harfield is in its sketch plan stages right now. Noel still has to sit down with a few developers interested in the development, so that he can decide on which developer can take lead on the project. I was just involved in tweaking the sketch plans this week.

Have a good weekend guys! :)
