Phase 3 – NDY
Happy New Year
After a most welcome break from (Perth Children’s Hospital) PCH I started Phase 3 with Norman, Disney and Young (NDY) last week after an amazing Christmas and New Year camping in Esperance and Margaret River, finishing with a 7 hour wine tour on New Years eve. It has taken the office a while to start up and I am now starting to be involved with some projects. Due to NDY being the main engineering consultant for PCH I will only be doing back of house work if any work on that project. I am starting a new small packet of work which is a consolidation of a number of Fire Alarm panels into one main panel. This will be interesting and also increase my knowledge of fire control systems and generally Information, Technology and Communications (ICT) systems which are becoming ever more complex and inportant with building services. The last item I wanted to blog about was the NDY beer fridge, its a 3m by 2m fridge full of beer!! This I am told if for retention purposes and of course friday evening drinks starting at 16:00, I have also volunteered to be on the NDY social club commitee as the memeber who orgnises sporting event such as the Corporate Triathalon which is in 6 weeks time. Further news is Hannah was second in the Australian National Pentathlon trials in Melbourne this weekend missing first place by 16 seconds and we are both on the commitee for our local swimming club helping organsie events this year. Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year.
With a 3 x 2m beer fridge in the office and a weekly happy hour programmed in I think I’d like to be on the NYD social club committee too!
As you have turned game-keeper it will be good for your development to fully understand the designer/contractor working relationship from the designers perspective. This will set you up very well for future STRE appointments.
A great result for Hannah – well done to her.
Ollie,
Is it possible to have your work/civi phone number and best time to call? I have a few questions re the detail of securing a house, the level of ‘fully funished’ etc and just generally how you went about getting set-up through JH.
Cheers
Fran.
Hey Fran,
Sorry for the slow reply for some reason the work computer stopped this website being opened and my lap top shat itself! Are you going to join the PCH team in Perth then? You can ring me from as soon as you wake up to probably about 14:00 your time. My work number +61 8 9281 6800 or mobile is +61 477 752 558.
