How on earth did you stick that for 10 months!! 10 months on the computer every day in your house. I’m about to graduate, and I don’t want to apply to a job stuck on Revit every day from your home. Sounds like perfect hell. Human-beings weren’t designed to live that lifestyle. Do you have any tips, because I’m thinking of applying for a construction project manager role, just to avoid being a Revit technician!!
Would be interested in seeing some of the work that you've completed on Revit as well as some of the technical detail drawings that you've worked on, curious to see how far you've come. Also, as a side question - did you do your technical detailing solely on Revit or did you shift everything back over to AutoCAD?
I couldn’t show any of the drawings because it is confidential information with work but I will show you work i do during university! And we worked 100% in revit, we produce all details in revit
If you get the chance, please go over some of the things that you did in Revit/technical detailing, as another person suggested. I think it's important because the things that you did are a reality-check for most students coming out of Uni, a different type of approach to work/development of skills that we need to be aware of for what's to come. I'm going to be beginning 3rd year in a couple of weeks, and although I would say that I am competent with Revit, I'm still anxious about my skills because I don't know just how drastically the work differs in practice. If you could go over the kinds of things that you did professionally, it would give an indication of what to look out for, and additionally, what current practices I should continue with/abandon (notoriously students tend to develop solutions that work for a given project, but in the industry it would be chastised due to inefficiency - there are norms that are understood and upheld).
hi, i am currently trying to complete a portfolio for applying to university and i started by creating a physical portfolio and i planned on using lots of my own designs and analysing other peoples designs and sketching them. but when i looked at others portfolios for inspiration, they had maybe four designs at most included, and they were all digital. they also only used computer software which is something i don't know how to use. could you give me some pointers so i know what to do with my portfolio or maybe make a video on your university application portfolio. thanks
When it came to using Revit for your group, did you get a 2 week (or more) period where they introduce basics/their practice for Revit before you started working with it for their projects? And also, how lenient were they when you started working? Was someone supervising your model in order to make sure you were working/learning correctly? I'm competent with the software, but I'm wondering if I'll be given additional help at the beginning of my placement to overview basics as a refresher and to learn how to work properly in accordance with the practices of my specific group.
yes we spent a week on inductions and learning the basics, I had already used revit previously so i kinda knew how to use the software. they will always support you to begin with so you are using the software and systems correctly as different practices use softwares differently
Its so funny when Thomas let his camera someone use it. Hahaha! Don't go to beach again, I feel sad about your body. Btw, Thomas, I really 100% dope inlove your editing. Hahaha I think you need to learn some dope shot b roll. Just to impress your viewers. Hahaha
How old are you and how old will you be when you finish uni, I’m 15 and want to be an architect and I want to start doing things now but I don’t know what, good video
There are many different things that you can look into, like familiarising yourself with some famous buildings/architects, their practices and generally what kinds of positions are held in the field (this will broaden your knowledge and give you an understanding of a range of different architectural styles). After that, for practical purposes, I would suggest improving your sketching abilities (i.e. draw from pictures and/or go outside and draw the buildings that you see, improve your drafting skills). Lastly, I would suggest that you download Sktechup and practice 3D modelling. It's free, easy to use and it'll allow you to quickly mass up different design ideas. All of this would be good practice for someone like you at your age, and you'll be in a good position once you begin your first year in architecture.
@@NameTheTraitor thank you for the reply, I will make sure to download sktetchup and practice on there, my dad is a builder and he has build our house, I’m always looking into the architect on the house plan and have drawn lots of houses from the jobs he has been at.
Part 2: 1 or 2 years of masters. Work experience: Ideally more than 1 year Part 3: 1 to 2 years to get your license. *So you would be looking from 4 to 6 years after part 1*

Yess new vid
👏🏼
what field of specialization are you thinking to consider for your masters degree? like sustainable, Housing etc.?
Huge congratulations Tom and best of luck on your masters! What is the minimum required time you need to work as a part 1 before your masters?
Thanks a lot! It’s a year that you need but i only worked 10 months
Its so funny when Thomas let his camera someone use it. Hahaha! Don't go to beach again, I feel sad about your body. Btw, Thomas, I really 100% dope inlove your editing. Hahaha I think you need to learn some dope shot b roll. Just to impress your viewers. Hahaha
Glad you enjoyed the vid 😅😅
Congrats on being done with four years!!
thank you!!
I thought you could complete the full architectural course in 5 years ? (without work experience)
you need to work as a part 1 and part 2 to qualify for your masters and qualify for your full qualification (part 3) in the UK
Can i become architect assistant with my diploma in Architect 3 year

awesome response 👏🏼
I need the vid
did you enjoy?
8 years in total?
yesir!
Are you doing an extra year in practice before part 3?
your moms awesome XD
😂
Congratulations for completing Part 1 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I wanted to ask why it will take 8 and not 7 years.
Wishing you all the best with Part 2
Part 2: 1 or 2 years of masters.
Work experience: Ideally more than 1 year
Part 3: 1 to 2 years to get your license.
*So you would be looking from 4 to 6 years after part 1*
exactly the comment below, masters is 2 years, 1 year working as a part 2 and then 1 year part 3 which makes the entire journey 8 years
