18 April - 21 April 2011 - Super long weekend!

Well this is the end of a short week for me. This week has been fairly slow in the office and i've been finishing off the SANS 10400 Reading....Reading...Reading.... That was clearly my main objective this week. Just got the most amazing news that that my amazing boss is closing the office for the 11days so il will be back then.

To all you celebrate Easter. may you have a blessed one:)

11 April - 15 April 2011- SOLVING ISSUES

This week has been quite eventfull....I've drawn up diagrams to better explain the new SANS 10400 building regulations...still in the process but all this reading has definately been an experience on its own.
So this week has been very quiet but we all need that once in a while....
However yesterday a little bomb fell when one of the plans came back from the enviromental department... Due to a canal being at the back of the site we are within the restricted area this means back to the drawing board and solving this issue. Eventually we came up with a solution and amendments were made....Now for the endless wait to see if things will progress....

Oh and I was part of the first online crit sessions...it was quite fun actually and very informative. A few ups & downs but with practise all that can be sorted.
Till then its back to the drawing board for me....

4 April - 8 April 2011 - SANS 10400

Can't believe another week is over....This week I have been fairly busy, with endless amendments but I got through it. I now realise how important checklists are and that we should not take it for granted. Plans are not just pretty pictures, drawings are a form of communication and it needs to be clear and accurate, making easy for the people reading the document to fully understand the message you bringing across. This week I also recieved the new publications of the SANS 10400 The new updated National Building Regulations. I am currently making a diagramatic representation of all the amended regulations for office. This will provide everyone with a clear understanding of what will now be expected at Council. Wow thats been a mouth full but I am trully grateful for the opportunities of learning in the office. Knowledge is a really powerful asset to have.

More importantly with knowledge you can achieve great things.

Till next time.

28 Mar - 1 April 2011- what a week!!!

Shoo....What a week, it has been filled with loads of amendments, using new programs & making changes to drawings which resulting in loads of prints (loads of paper) and just a hectic week of really making sure that your work is up to a good standard. I have really learnt so much this week. But shoo!!! am I glad I have completed it all

So that's this week gone..the weeks are just flying by

Till next time.
