    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Great insight into development viability. Most of the days where spent report writing, reading design reports from client's architects and breaking down the location and description of the site and projects. I was able to provide quick research if a team member required more information on a specific subject. Away from the team, I attended overviews, detailing the different roles, and required skills. Including APC insights.
