This week we’ve had young Harry in the office learning the ins and outs of a fully functioning architectural office. This is how he described his first day with us…
I started my work experience on Wednesday 14th and went on site to a large commercial project where we needed to measure all dimensions of the project internally and externally.
Jon taught me how to use the theodolite in order for a drawing to be produced of the building in context and the exterior land surrounding the property. It was a really good day out and I learnt a lot, such as recording angles and measurements onto a floor plan for each floor of the property and the exterior measurements, we did this by using a laser measurer.
Overall I really enjoyed my experience surveying a property as an architect and now I feel clear that architecture is the career I would like to pursue. I would like to say a big thank you to The Art of Building team for giving me this great opportunity.
Harry, it’s been a pleasure to have you on board!
