Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight programme showed how heritage consultancy operated the the structures in which they work. I undertook research on site proposals in order to prepare for heritage statements. I was also shown the legislation and archival resources that are used to analyse structures and whether their proposals are viable. On Monday, we did a site visit to Surrey in which we met the Architect and discussed plans and alterations to the said property.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was interesting learning about the different sections of the global business and how differing departments work together on large scale projects.
