Hi There :)
For my 5th week, we have been to the council tto submit the garage drawings. Here are the drawings finally:

We unfortunately have to do a departure as the garage is supposed to be 2.5m away from the boundary, so we'll have to get the concent of the neighbours, and two other departments. It is going to be a mission. I did it once in my previous job. It is very annoying.
We went on this site again, and my boss and the Project Manager (James) were looking for solutions for the waterproofing problems. And they sorted it out. :)

For this week I also started to draw on the plan on Silwood road in Rondebosch. It is an existing building and we have to make alterations to it. The plan drawing was already drawn by someone that worked here before., so I'm now busy drawing the sections.
Here are the drawings :

We also went at a house in Clifton, as there were cracks on the wall of the same client of the garage and basement.

See you next week :)

Here is the 3D skeleton of the garage in Constantia. Unfortunately I still didn't figure out how to insert the materials onto my 3D model.

Hi there :)
My 3rd week went well. We have been on site several times which is very nice as I can see I am learning a lot on site. We went on the Constantia site where they are busy building a HUGE basement. It's crazy how fast the construction went. The one day they busy building the retaining walls, and the next day they already installing the precast concrete slabs. I will put the pictures of the site visits on a seperate page on my blog. This way it will be easier to understand the progress on site.
The garage I was busy doing the local authority drawings, is next to the basement, but will be constructed at a later stage. I will put the final drawings of the garage very soon :)
This 4th week was quite nice as I am discovering the 3D version of Micro GDS. I am having a lot of fun while learning.. As a training, I did the 3D drawing of the garage in Constantia. I am very frustrated now, that I came to a point where i need to put materials on top of the faces of the garage, but I am stuck, Its been a few days that I am looking for how to do that.. I even googled it ;) Still nothing.. But Dereck, an architect Monique and I just met at a meeting with our boss, offered us his help with the 3D drawings. I was impressed by the work he did. And I think it's a good way of showing the client exactly what you want to propose.

See you next week :)
