Team size varies
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"I'm part of the team and the team depends on the size of the project. Some little projects require one engineer who does the calculations and I create blueprints.
For Manitoba Hydro, there are teams of draftspersons and engineers. We work closely with each other to clarify the work. We don't want to have two people working on the same part of the structure.
"And there's the issue of interference. One draftsperson is drawing a foundation, another is drawing a wall. Those two parts have to fit, so we have to stay in constant communication."
