21 Feb - 25 Feb 2011 First submission...handling the pressure

What a week.....the weeks just keep passing by...This week I managed to complete my first plan for the year and it was submitted to council, a great start to the week! I then started with sketch plans for a cottage on a farm/wine estate. It has been a bit challenging & stressful as my health wasn't really that good, really tested whether I was able to withstand the stress....but I made it through the week!

Until next time...

14 Feb - 18 Feb 2011...KEEPING MOTIVATED

Its me again……..wow this week was hectic, I started working on alterations to an existing house. This allowed me to follow a brief, namely the client’s needs but its been endless changes. I would take the list and complete the changes and then more would pop up. I am busy preparing for council submission and the checklists are endless. Oh well I got through it!!!! I really enjoy working to a deadline as it keeps me motivated.

Till next time ……

I’m so looking forward to the weekend!!!

7 Feb- 11 Feb 2011 NEW ADVENTURES

What a week...glad its the weekend.This has been a non-stop learning week for me. One of our colleagues left to explore work on her own and now we have a new colleague. Jenny is an interior designer as well as a technologist, she walks plans @ council and is very actively involved the the process of drawing & council submissions. I will be working closely with her and look forward to all the great experiences & knowledge I will gain. This week was once again amendments, however I'm working on a new project that is allowing me to test my knowledge on what is acceptable for council according to national building regulations.

So that all from me....catch me again next week.

PS: Enjoy Valentines day...spread the love....THIS WORLD DEFINITELY NEEDS MORE OF IT!:)

31 Jan - 4 Feb 2011 A little this & that!

This week has been quite interesting...I have learned how to do a landscape plan as well as mechanical ventilation. Things are fairly slow however amendments are very often rolling in.So I guess I'm becoming more accustomed to council requirements and needs. This week has gone by fairly quickly. Look forward to next week and what challenges I may face:)
