🏠I’m going to try to commit to a weekly update as I’m always so busy I don’t do a great job of keeping social media up to speed!
This week I’ve been at my desk designing extensions and refurbs, project managing, doing site visits, organising drainage surveys, the usual pile of admin, paperwork, CPD, juggling phone calls in and out and also getting a ‘larger home extension’ application submitted to the council for a semi on Mowden.
Earlier this week I dug out an old CV for some legal admin and it reminded me how quickly time flies! I started working as an Architectural Assistant back in 2003, qualified as an Architect in 2008 and founded P A Designs in 2011! Over 22 years of loving what I do. There’s of course been headaches, a lot of eye strain and some all-nighters at my desk along the way, but I get such satisfaction seeing my happy clients, it’s definitely all worth it 👩💻
This image is a flashback to one of the first jobs P A Designs had, which was to ensure the completion of The Hub- an award winning community building in Barnard Castle.
