I assist with various tasks involved in commercial construction. As a trainee cost consultant I will be doing any of these tasks on a given day, measuring architectural drawings and sketches, assisting with putting together elements of cost plans, finding rates, creating schedules, feasibility studies, internal company work, helping monthly valuations and site visits, comp checking.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
