My next task assisted in enhancing the projects organization. I worked with hospital room names and numbers in Microsoft Excel for this task. I went through each floor list and where two or more rooms had identical room numbers, but different names, I created a hybrid name that applies to each respective room. These instances were visible where a single room carries out more than one function, but still fall under the same room number. This simplified the layout of the Revit schedule to which those names will later be linked and used for construction purposes. The construction document phase involved a 50% submit ion during the first two weeks in July, and 100% submit ion at the end of September. One of the requirements for the 50% construction …show more content…

Until this point most of the equipment and furniture had been placed in a separate Revit file, which was then linked back to the main model; this was used for the 50% submission. However, the equipment and furniture now needed to be brought back to the main file, according to the new equipment list and using the families I revised in the beginning of my work term. For this task I had to open both the main file and the equipment model simultaneously. After loading in the correct equipment family into the main file, I had to delete the corresponding family from the equipment model, so that there are no duplications. While performing this task, I also went through the complete equipment list and made sure the naming and sizes were correct, and all the equipment required was present in each room.

After the all the equipment and furniture was placed into the main model, I assisted the planner in tagging all the specialty equipment and furniture present in his department. I had some difficulty in avoiding overlapping tags as some equipment had long names. I solved this by creating leaders in the annotation so that I …show more content…

My job duties and tasks have served to develop and enhance my technical skills as well as my personal skills. I had a chance to work with planners who were in charge of different departments within the hospital. Working with them, I learnt about the different approaches they take towards planning their department and all the different factions they need to collaborate with to achieve the projects design goals. This for me was the most interesting part of my job, collaboration within the firm and with other companies. I got to sit in on team meetings and group conference calls with the contractors and suppliers, listen to the problems they were facing, and watch as the senior architect discussed it with the planners to reach a derisible solution. For example, when the equipment list was changed for the third time and sizes were changed, there
