Aubrey's Architecture

Aan de Weber is a very successful project that we are still busy on doing. I think this project will be a huge success...We drew up 17 units on Autocad, then on Sketchup. i cant seem to upload the autocad PDF drawings, but it will be on the disk i am giving in (hardcopy)

This is just four of the 17 units we did, Came out very nice

I am very proud of me and my sketchup skills:)

WORKING DRAWINGS I DID AFTER MEASURING UP THE SCHOOL ASWELL AS TAKING DIMENTIONS FOR MR. JEFF LACKAY

ELEVATIONAL SKETCH OF THE SCHOOL

SKETCH DRAWINGS OF THE PLAN OF THE SCHOOL

THIS IS A EXAMPLE OF A UNIT I DREW UP FOR AAN DE WEBER. THIS PROJECT IS STILL UP AND RUNNING.vERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT...

CLIENT IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

THIS IS MY FIRST SLOPE I DID ON SKETCHUP...I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS SO DIFFICULT, BUT ACTUALLY ITS NOT.

I LIKE DOING NEW  WORK, AS THIS WAS MY FIRST SLOPE I DID.

THIS SKATEPARK I HAD TO DREW  UP ON AUTOCAD, THEN IMPORTED IT TO SKETCHUP WHERE I DID THIS BUILDING.

IM VERY PROUD ON MY SKETCHUP SKILLS...IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I DIDNT HAD A CLUE HOW TO WORK ON SKETCHUP...

BUT NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED:)

THIS IS A MILL HOUSE I HAD TO DRAW UP ON AUTOCAD ASWELL, AND ALSO IMPORTED IT TO SKETCHUP, THEN I DID THE MODEL FROM THERE. LIKE I SAID I REALLY FEEL PROUD ABOUT MYSELF FOR DOING ALL THIS WORK.

 GENERAL QUESTIONS:

 BLUEDOWNS - LOW COST HOUSING   : SKETCHUP

This is a low cost housing project is more or less the same as the previous low cost housing project I was involved in. This site has different units and the site differs from the previous project. Myself and Lucienne Myburgh worked on this project. The units below are the ones that I had to draw up in Auto CAD and build up in Sketch Up. This is the 591 units where i finalised all the auto CAD and sketchup drawings on my own where lucienne were busy with Franschoek shopping centre. This is the project i am currently busy with. It takes so much time but i enjoy doing it as i learn alot:) I am almost finished with the drawing, the Autocad and SketchuP drawings is finish. i am busy putting in Erf numbers etc.

THIS IS DONE BY OUR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS. SOME AWESOME WORK :)WHERE LUCIENNE AND I DREW ALL THE 11 UNITS AND AFTER BEING CRITTED I MADE ALL THE CHANGES ON THE UNITS. THIS WAS A VERY NICE PROJECT TO START WORKING ON SKETCHUPFOR THE FIRST TIME:)

I REALLY FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF. WHEN I STARTED WORKING HERE, I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO WORK ON THIS PROGRAM, BUT NOW I AM ABLE TO MANAGE IT ALL ON MY OWN. 

THIS IS WHAT I AM CURRENTLY BUSY WITH. THIS IS POCKET NUMBER 1 WHERE THERE IS 12 POCKETS ALL TOGETHER. I JUST FINISHED PUTTING IN ERF NUMBERS AND SIZES OF THE ERF'S 

 THIS IS ALL 12 POCKETS  WHERE THERE IS 591 ERF'S. I STILL NEED TO PUT IN BOUNDARY LINES AND BUILDING LINES ETC ASWELL AS ALL THE OTHER INFORMATION THAT EACH ERF NEEDS....

 BLUEDOWNS - LOW COST HOUSING   :   AUTOCAD

THIS IS THE DRAWINGS WE DID ON AUTOCAD TO GO FOR SUBMISSION. WE TOOK QUITE A WHILE AFTER BEING CRITTED COUPLE OF TIMES BY MR. LACKAY AND DARREN. WE DID PLANS , SECTIONS ASWELL AS ELEVATIONS. WE FIRST DID THE AUTOCAD DRAWINGS, THEREAFTER THE SKETCHUP. IF WE MADE CHANGES ON AUTOCAD, WE HAD TO EDIT SKETCHUP MODELS. SO DID  IT GO ON AND ON AND ON....IT TOOK US REALLY LONG TO FINISH THIS PROJECT. THIS UNIT 1 BELOW IS JUST ONE OF THE 11 UNITS I WORKED ON ALL BY MYSELF FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

THIS IS WHERE I GOT CRITTED, I MADE CHANGES AND IS NOW FINISH. WE ARE NOW BUSY WITH THE ERF;S AND WILL START WITH TITLING SOON  

 DROMMEDARIS (PAARL) - LOW COSTING     :    SKETCHUP

THIS IS THE DIFFERENT UNITS OF DROMMEDARIS WHERE IT IS PLOTTED OUT ON THE DIFFERENT ERF'S. THE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS OF DENNIS MOSS AND PARTNERS THAT EDITED THE UNITS WE DREW. THIS IS CLOSE TO THE ENDING PROJECT. THIS WAS A VERY BIG PROJECT THOUGH WHERE WE HAD THE MOST DEADLINES. I STARTED ON SKETCHUP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE IN THE THIRD MONTH I STARTED WORKING AT DENNIS MOSS AND PARTNERS. I REALLY FEEL GOOD ABOUT  MYSELF AS I LEARNED SO QUICK TO DO SKETCHUP. IF WE WORK WITH LOW COSTING HOUSES IT WILL BE FOR DARREN, BECAUSE HE SPACIALISES IN IT. DARREN WORKS FOR MR LACKAY , ONE OF THE PARTNERS* 

 FRANSCHOEK NEW SHOPPING MALL - SITE VISIT AND MEASUREMENTS

 This was a site visit that myself and Lucienne went to in Franschoek. We had to measure the entire structure of an existing Agrimark store so that renovations and exstentions could be added. WE WENT TO TWO SITE VISITS OF WHERE IT WAS TWO DAYS.THIS WAS HARD WORK, I DREW ALL THE SKETCHES ETC, WHERE LUCIENNE AFTERWARDS DREW WORKING DRAWINGS ON AUTOCAD.  LUCIENNE IS STILL BUSY WITH THESE RENOVATIONS WHERE I AM BUSY FINALISING ALL 11 UNITS OF BLUE DOWNS LOW COST HOUSING, PLUS CHANGES ON ALL THE SKETCHUP DRAWINGS. CURRENTLY I AM WORKIN WITH DARREN, AND LUCIENNE WITH JACO. BASICALLY BOTH OF US HAVE OUR OUN PROJECT TO COMPLETE*

 UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH - STIAS RENOVATIONS

THIS IS AT STIAS - UNIVERSITY OF SELLENBOSCH WHERE WE DID RENOVATIONS ON TWO OLD BUILDINGS.ME AND LUCIENNE WENT ON A SITE VISIT TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS AND DO SKETCHES , THEN AFTER THAT WE DREW OP WORKING DRAWINGS ON AUTOCAD. THIS PROJECT WAS FOR JACO NIEMAND WHERE HE ASKED UP TO GO OBSERVE THE HOUSE THAT NEEDED TO BE RENOVATED.

 RENOVATIONS I DID.....:)

 REVISED TREASARY TRUST - BOSCHENDAL RENOVATIONS

THIS IS AT A VERY FAMILIER WINE FARM CALLED BOCHENDAL CLOSE TO FRANSCHOEK WHERE I DID RENOVATIONS FOR MR. HANS BLUMER. I PUT IN DIMENSIONS ASWELL AS EDITED THE DRAWING TO THE CLIENTS NEEDS. I WORKED ON THIS DRAWING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THIS DRAWING HAD TO GO FOR COUNSEL SUBMISSION, BUT I JUST HELPED HIM WITH THE PROJECT.

 WATER MAIN BELOW BOUNDARY WALL

THIS WAS JUST A SMALL DETAIL THAT I DID FOR MR. HANS BLUMER

 DETAILED GALVANISED GATE

THIS IS A GALVANISED DETAILED GATE WHICH JACO NIEMAND ASKED ME TO DO FOR HIM. JACO IS ALSO ONE OF THE PARTNERS AND WILL ASK ME TO DO SOMETHNG WHEN HE NEEDS IT URGENTLY AND NOT HAVE ALOT OF TIME.  I ENJOY WORKING WITH HIM AS HE WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU IN DETAIL WHAT EXACTLY TO DO. HE IS A VERY HELPFULL MAN AND I ENJOY WORKING WITH HIM THE MOST.

DROMMEDARIS LOW COST HOUSING

THIS IS IN DROMMEDARIS,JUST AFTER PAARL WHERE WE NEEDED TO DRAW DIFFERENT KIND OF UNITS FOR DIFFERENT SIZES OF PLOTS. WE DEVIDED THE DIFFERENT UNITS BETWEEN ME AND LUCIENNE. WE DID PLANS SECTIONS, ELEVATIONS AND DETAILED DRAWINGS. WHEN WE FINISHED DRAWING UP THAT , WE GOT CRITS AND WAS A SUCCESS AT THE END. WE STARTED PUTTING OUT ERF NUMBERS,BOUNDARY LINES, BUILDING LINES, HATCHING, PUTTING EACH UNIT ON ITS OWN ERF ETC. THIS WAS QUITE A NIGHTMARE PROJECT AS WE WORKED TILL 8 O CLOCK ON SOME NIGHTS JUST TO MAKE OUR DEALINE.  THERE WAS ABOUT 1500 ERFS WHERE WE NEEDED TO PLOT UNITS ON EACH ERF. WE SPENDED ALOT OF TIME ON THIS BIG PROJECT ASWELL AS AT THE PRINTERS. EACH ERF HAD ITS OWN FILE OF 20 PAGES THT NEEDE TO GO FOR SUBMISSIEN. MULTYPLY 20 PAGES WITH 1500..... YAH,THATS  THE AMOUNT OF A3'S WE PRINTED IN COLOUR. WE DID SO MUCH ADMIN WORK ASWELL WHILE DRAWING AND ADDED ALL THIS TITLING ETC. IT TOOK US ABOUT 2 MONTHS OF DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. BUT AT THE END IT WAS A SUCCESS :). WE HOPED TO NOT GET SUCH A PROJECT LIKE THIS AGAIN....LOL AND SO WE DID,,,,,,,:) 

THIS WAS JUST AT THE BEGINNING STAGE

THIS IS ONE ERF IN A POCKET. HERE YOU CAN SEE WE DID SO MUCH WORK. WE  ME AND LUCIENNE ADDED ALL THESE DETAIL AND NOTES TO 1500 ERF'S.

THIS WAS DEVIDED INTO DIFFERENT POCKETS. THERE WERE 12 POCKETS. 1A , 1B , 2A , 2B ETC , SO BASICALLY THERE WERE 24.

THIS IS THE WHOLE SITE WHERE WE JUST FINISHED

 RENOVATIONS TO OFFICES + SITE VISIT

THIS IS AN OFFICE BLOCK IN DORP STREET WHERE ME AND LUCIENNE WENT ON A SITE VISIT. WE MADE SKETCHES AND HAD TO GET DIMENSIONS OF THIS WHOLE BLOCK. I DREW UP THE SKETCHES WHILE HE HELPED TAKING MEASUREMENTS. THERE AFTER WE DREW UP THE PLANS AND ELEVATION WHERE THEY WILL NOW PUT IN PARTITIONS FOR NEW OFFICES. THIS TOOK UP A SHORT WHILE, BUT WAS VERY INTERESTING, I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING TO GO ON SITE VISITS AS I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING SO MUCH BETTER THAN JUST TO BE EXPLAINED WHAT TO DO. I LIKE SEEING STUFF AND ASK ABOUT IT IF I DONT UNDERSTAND. 

SKETHES I DID ON THE SITE VISIT

BLOCK WORK WALL

THIS IS A BLOCK WORK WALL. PLAN , SECTION AND ELEVATION. THIS I DID FOR DARREN TO PUT INTO THE LOW COSTING HOUSES.  HE CRITTED ME AND HAD TO MAKE CHANGES TO IT ETC. DARREN MAINLY SPECIALISE IN LOW COST HOUSING. WE DID THESE KIND OF HOUSING IN DROMMEDARIS (1500 UNITS) AND IN BLUEDOWNS (591 UNITS).

PNIEL - OU PASTORIE AND NEW MUSEUM

THIS IS PNIEL OU PASTORIE,JUST OUTSIDE STELLENBOSCH THAT NEEDED A FEW RENOVATIONS AND CHANGES. WE WENT ON 3 SITE VISITS TO GET DIMENSIONS SO THAT WE CAN DRAW UP PLANS. WE MADE SKETCHES ON THE SITE. THIS WAS QUITE INTERESTING BECAUSE OF HOW OLD THIS BUILDING IS. THIS CHURCH WILL NOW CHANGE INTO A MUSEUM FOR PNIEL.

THESE HOUSES ARE SITUATED IN VLOTTENBURG JUST OUTSIDE STELLENBOSCH ON A FARM. WE WENT ON A SITE VISIT TO GO  MEASURE UP FOUR OF THOSE HOUSES THAT IS BUSY CRACKING AND NEEDS URGENT WORK TO KEEP IT STANDING ETC. WE DEVIDED THESE FOUR HOUSES BETWEEN ME AN LUCIENNE. WE MADE SOME SKETCHES AND THEN DRAW IT ON AUTOCAD. WE WERE ASKED TO DO WORKING DRAWINGS SO THAT DARREN CAN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THESE BUILDINGS NEEDS. DARREN IS AN ARCITECT , THAT WORKS FOR ONE OF THE PARTNERS, MR. LACKAY.  MOST OF THE TIME DARREN WILL GIVE US WORK TO DO, SO BASICALLY WE WORK FOR HIM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME FOR MR LACKAY ASWELL
