Which technological advances in the sector are you most excited about?
Modular and offsite construction. You’re saving time on site, and on a lot of the premiums. It also enables a lot of work to happen at the same time. Different areas of the building could be constructed on different sides of the country then come together like a big puzzle.
What was your favourite project to work on over the course of your apprenticeship?
It was a graphical detailing and construction. It consisted of a lot of hand drawings all the way from different plans like foundation scales, section drawings, site block plans and then we learned about all the different techniques to hit the British standards associated with all of them.
