(picture is of Block B)

Ive worked on all of those projects, as a draughtsman/CAD Technician, building up a 3D model of the building and producing all of the layout drawings of the building (from a steel POV), detailing all of the connections/joints and getting all of that to the works.
Thats my job, in a nutshell :)

3D CAD system that we use: StruCAD, which includes previews of the system I operate.

Southgat centre is going up at a rate of knots. Surprisingly it fits in well with the older buildings!

Placement, working there for a year, if they like you, you then get offered a place on the grad scheme. They do all their recruiting for full-time through placement students now apparently

No pics of my old job but the office looked like every other construction site/yard office on the planet. The job sites were typically in gardens (I was part of a housing improvement project run by a mining company) because at the time we were erecting veranda/patios based in concrete slabs.

So basically my work sites were 4 by 6 100ml holes in the ground in gardens.

Oh and there was the boat. No pictures of that either.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

LOL, the explosion was in Block B...right smack in the middle of my first block. When I started C, and now G, people just say "hope it doesnt catch fire this time...". Bastards. Was announced on the national news on the radio on my way home that night...was like WTF!

That building is nothing to do with us, but I believe its a new bus station. Havent been to Bath for a long time...is this the one you mean:
