Part I Architectural Assistant
-
Feb 2008 - Jun 2009
Worked on a range of projects from small residential developments, with project values of £200,000- £5 million to large scale Industrial, commercial and healthcare projects with values up to £48 million. My responsibilities included measured surveys, site analysis, design development, meeting and coordinating with the clients, project managers, engineers and contractors. This experience covered all RIBA work stages. Towards the end of my time there I was given the opportunity to run a small project at Didcot Parkway Station. This gave me invaluable experience on all the work stages particularly writing specifications, compiling and evaluating tender packages, detailing and on site construction. Show less
