Apprentice of the month – March

While working on a new build, second-year Auckland apprentice Kane Nisbet illustrated good attention to detail when faced with the challenge of getting on top of some complex bracing plans and lintel fixings

To ensure he understood the plans, Kane studied all of his drawings and specifications theory thoroughly. He also worked closely with his foreman to make sure he knew exactly what was required.

As a result, he was able to read all the drawings and specifications, while clearly marking out all the brace sheets on the framing, so they were ready for the next stage of the build.

“It’s important you take your time when reading plans to make sure you understand them properly and be 110% certain you have all information needed,” says Kane. “Labelling plans clearly for others to read is also key, as it helps speed up the whole building process.”
