WEEK 9 @ HZA

Well, my  huge 3D model of the centre  has come to an end now as I have finalized it.


I got onto a new project, helping my boss with the outdoor layout and spaces for the new house. I even got into adding a bit of landscape to the plan. I moved to the elevations, which was challenging as the site has a slope and from this start I finally got a lesson on how to work with contour lines- it’s exciting, and I need to practice more.

This week we received news from Council of the new requirements for submission of plans, which are basically related to energy calculations and similar calculations, but I need to read my NBR and their notes to understand these.

I visited Council in search of plans for a building we are about to measure up. My boss filled in the necessary forms and the owner wrote a letter giving me permission to view and copy the plans of their property-this is what we need in order to receive copies of plans. This though was a long and unsuccessful visit as they did not have the plans that I needed.

In brief this week, I quickly jumped into an Estate project just to add the renovations of the courtyard to the overall plan for filing. Next I draw up 3 options for possible spaces within the Estate just by merely alternating the rooms.

At the end of the week I was in barking on the door and window schedules for the lastest project. This new home is very luxurious, each window is different, each door is different and the house is rounded up by doors and windows, making this more motivating for me.

CHEERS!
