CLEVER THINKING

Then  for the report I carried on to the services section, this I had to start an electrical layout for Alaster Avenue. Here was an interesting challenge, teh report was tricky to comply with having to be clever with my decisions of lighting for each room.

Went on a site visit with Heidi to the beach. This was a project completed some time ago and now the client is looking into add awnings. This gave me a slight view/understanding of how to continue with projects and how to work with other professionals as we had a man working with installing aluminium awnings there to see what could be done.

After I sat in a meeting with Heidi and the client of one of the domestic projects. The discussions were about the Bill of Quantities, the project is higher than the clients budget. It gave me a look of the client and architect relationship and the level of decision making an architect has. While my biggest challenge was at the end of the week, when I tactled a drainage section for a proposed home. Heidi gave me an example to work from but it was much of a head ache and it did not help me much. Though it is best to leave it for Monday so that I could do some reserch during the weekend and going over my tertairy notes.

ITS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE LEARN AT UNIVERSITY...
