    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • My role involved going on site inspections, producing schedule of dilapidations, schedule of works, reading through lease documents, produced law contracts, and specification sheets. I had discussions with work colleagues and professionals, asking questions, and taking notes. Used Auto CAD to measure the roof areas of a site that I had previously visited. I also edited discrepancies of an existing site to ensure the layout matched what I inspected.
