Initially it was to review documents before they were sent to the contractor. After which cable schedule reviews and then correct the mistakes such as error in cable measurement and size on Revit. Learned to apply Dialux and then go then on site visit to learn further about Dialux application in real life.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Relatively yes because most projects were coming to an end during the time I was there so I still got work which was relatively important.
