Work update (nothing much to do during Ramadhan)..

This would be my 1st post regarding my work at the architect firm, but it's not my 1st job there since I didn't have any time to snap pics back then. Anyway, since it's Ramadhan and most of the projects we're in charge of are already settled.. today was very free for me to let u guys know what I'm actually doing in the firm (besides messing around with AutoCAD)..


Okay, usually a client / developer / etc comes up with a deal, or an architect decides to take a certain area of land to build a site on it.. [1] they would have to roughly draft a sample of the layout. Then, [2] we here in the AutoCAD department are the ones who creates / designs the layouts thru AutoCAD according to the client's or architect's demand. Once it is done, [3] the plan @ blueprint will be plotted (the architect term of the word 'print') and will be [4] presented to the client as a proposal. If everything goes well, [5] we will then design the project in a perspective view (3D angle) + the project details (example: Utopia Country House, single-storey bungalow, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, etc..) + the client's details for further contact or information (example: Kedah Holdings Sdn Bhd, address, etc..) = like a brochure / catalog to be [6] presented again for the client for the final confirmation. If everything goes to satisfaction, the deal is done and the project will be started after [7] getting the kelulusan from the jabatan perancang & perbandaran negeri.


But, if the client decided to add some changes after step no.[4], we would have to manually update the blueprint. As shown in the pics.. the coloured red areas indicates that those areas are / will be modified, where the parts are detailed by the red markers. The blue markers however indicates the parts that are / will be demolished (I had to spend hours just to mark 10 sheets of the blueprints because I was the only one with the damn BLUE pen, sheeesh!!!). Still, at least everyone had something to do today (itu pun everyone was done with the red markings and slept on their desks by 2pm, I managed to finished my damn blue part just before the office is closed. Not fair!!)


Anyway, I went back at 5pm.. later, bukak puasa with home-made spaghetti.. then, mommy decided to go shopping in town after Insyak prayers. Since that I still have my last year's 'biru bintang' baju raya, I decided to grab a nice ADAX blue-zipped sweater and silver short-sleeves shirt = RM115. Oh well, eventhough it's not baju raya.. it is still baju 'sempena' raya.. mueheheh! (Korang dah beli ke baju raya???)
