AFTER TWO YEARS AT ASGG WORKING MAINLY ON COMPETITION/SCHEMATIC PHASE PROJECTS, I JOINED A TEAM ENTERING THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE OF THE KAFD DEVELOPER PROJECT IN SAUDI ARABIA. A HUGE UNDERTAKING, THE NEW BUSINESS DISTRICT OF RIYADH WOULD INVOLVE NEARLY 40 DIFFERENT PROJECTS BEING BUILT SIMULTANIOUSLY. 
MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT INVOLVED THE DESIGN AND DETAILING OF THE LOBBIES, RETAIL AREA AND SOME EXTERNAL CIVIC AREAS.  AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PHASE CAME TO A FINISH, I WAS ABLE TO REMAIN ON THE PROJECT PART TIME TO ASSIST IN THE CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION PHASE. DURING THIS TIME, I WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN THE GILL RESIDENCE THROUGH C.A.  THE PROJECT IS SET FOR COMPLETION TOWARDS THE END OF 2012 (DECEMBER MOST LIKELY) AND ALONG WITH THE GILL RESIDENCE AND WALDORF HOTEL, WILL BE MY THIRD BUILT PROJECT.
