WEEKLY REFLECTION
This week I learned and got to touch a bit of everything. I was able to continue working on the Tomochichi existing site model, go to a site visit, and have my first “CA School” session with Tommy, a principal at the firm. At the Wagener Building site visit I went to with Jay I had the opportunity to see a building in mid construction (renovation) which was a first. Not only was I able to to meet the GC but had the chance to make it onto the roof. Jay explained to me about the steel structure that was being installed for the new roof deck design and talked about the new roofing that was going to be installed. We had a good discussion on the different options for roofing and looked at the existing roof felt.
On Thursday I had my first session of CA School and was able to really dive into plumbing and how to read the different annotations for plumbing fixtures. I learned about P-traps, ventilation and the different clean outs a building can have. I am looking forward to learning from Tommy – his knowledge in Construction Administration will be indispensable not only in the workplace but on the AREs.
