INTERNSHIP JAN 2015-MARCH 2015

During this period,I worked at Vengesayi Architects in Harare,Zimbabwe.
While working here I was introduced to the requirements, activities and operations involved in working in
architectural / construction practices.I was involved in all the professional practices and this enabled me to develop an understanding of the general nature,principles and procedures of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings,especially the Building by-laws.
I was also exposed to the process of authority submission for various drawings from an architectural practice and the range of contract documentation produced to support these drawings.
