New Colleague :D

Lucie has started working at my office as of a week ago which has really made the work environment a lot more fun and interesting,  we share an office so she has become familiar with Noels projects quickly and I think she is really enjoying the site visits and random missions we go on. The other day we went on a nice drive to Constantia “the big hole” then to Glen Cairn where the plans I drew are being constructed, then to Kommetjie to get an idea of where the drainage is on Lisa’s property.  We drove past camels as well as baboons crossing the road; we also drove into a swarm of bees. Really interesting day, we then stopped in Constantia for coffee after the crazy day.

For the past few days I have been working on Banana Jam, a restaurant come bar. The owner of Banana Jam wants to put another bar upstairs as well as admin offices.

We have received the Banana Jam old plans from council which I have re drawn on Micro GDS.

Plasir Du Jardin is another project that is really coming on nicely.  We have visited the site a few more times since the last time I blogged so here are some of the progress pictures.

Princess Road is also on the verge of completion. This project has been really great to watch go up as I have seen all the steps, from basement to roofing. The plaster and finishings are going on after a very quick 7 months of labour.

Another project which is coming along is Silwood road where I was asked to study the zoning scheme to see what would apply to the property as they want to add a Maids Quarters and room onto the one side of the house. I was just doing sketch plans on how one could add maid’s quarters as well as a bedroom.
