I was not carrying out autocad design work during this job, but would bring up drawings on Autocad for representation and outline cost purposes, to prepare preliminary client briefing and to brief the designers. I was helpful in that I was able to assist the designers in realising a higher standard of delivery, but was not actually allowed in my capacity as projectmanager to carry out the design myself, as the company was set up as a facilities management company who employed designers and consultants to advise on these details. However, I did work with RBC on site, to realise details in their scope of work, along with MacAndrew, and Hulme Upright and Manning, and they were involved early on in the discussions with the end user and the client to realize the scheme design. This role which I fulfilled for 18 months, utilised my job architect skills, and site running skills to the best of my practical abilities.
