  Bindon Design Group

  Jan 2012 - Jun 2013

  Graduate Architect

  Recent project that I completed, at Bindon Design and Construction Ltd, was the Lavender Lounge Nail Salon. Apart from being in charge of the design process, completion of construction documentation, liaising with client and achieving Building Consent – I acted as a Junior Project manager of the construction process - including procurement of finishes and fixtures, overseeing construction of all custom joinery in house, and liaising with suppliers, builders and sub-contractors. After completing final snag lists, I managed the process between main builder, sub-contractor and the client to achieve the required changes and ensuring that all parties were happy with the outcome. The project was completed on time and within budget.This project highlighted to me how much I enjoy the project management role in the construction process, especially spending time on site and liaising with builders and contractors to achieve the best result. I am a highly organised person, who works well under pressure and therefore I think this will make me a great Project Architect/Manager. I have a friendly and respectful personality which has helped me to find common language and work well with builders and clients alike.Other projects:Design and construction documentation for a Spa Complex (1500 sqm) in a Golf Course Resort in hainan, China.Construction documentation for a 2700 sqm Shopping Complex in Silverdale, Auckland. Completed in a team with senior architects.Design and Construction documentation for Luxury Goods Retail store in Macau, China.Design and construction documentation for Residential alterations and new home construction.
