Blog 4 - Cameron Restivo

Over the past few weeks we've been focusing a lot on residential projects. We usually do not design or install a lot of residential projects, but we have had a large influx of our commercial clients requested a design for their personal homes. I’ve enjoyed the change in project styles as I’ve got to experience both sides of designs, & I’ve also learned so much by doing both. 

In the background, we've still been slowly developing the site plan for a new OLOL remodel that includes a chapel courtyard space, new front entry and two atriums in the main lobby. We have just received the architects final design for entry & exit locations so we are free to move onto the next phase of the design. 

Lastly, internship is much better than school.

One thing that surprised me in my first few weeks here was how many projects we are working on at the same time. After my first month and a half, I have already worked on about 30 different projects ranging from amenity decks on rooftops for condos/apartments to city parks around the M...

GREETINGS ONCE AGAIN! I am attempting to get better at this blogging thing, I think my delivery of the last one was a bit bland and robotic. Fortunately, they say in life growth is inevitable and the same applies to my internship experience. I feel the level of trust is being raised with us interns. From the increased workload to the level of work being that is tasked to us. I don't know if it's just me but having my judgement and skill trusted to the level of having a deliverable that I had a large role in being presented to others is a slightly nervous but very rewarding feeling. It also acts as a motivator to keep learning and increase the quality of my efforts.  Assignment updates! Mikala and I did tree warranty work at Greenwood Park in Baker. Our task of was to walkthrough a portion of the park and tag the dead trees and ground shrubs so they could be replaced under their one-year warranty.                         ...
