BUILDING designers are finding themselves in hot demand as the building sector continues to grow.<\/p>\n

With homeowners wanting a more personalised home, building designers and interior designers are in high demand.<\/p>\n

Madeleine Bent manages her own building design business, focusing on residential projects and she started her learning journey to become a building designer with The Gordon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gordon was the obvious choice for me to acquire the practical skills and knowledge to be job-ready for this industry,\u201d Ms Bent said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe building design course gave me real-life experience and gave me excellent grounding with hands-on experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I had finished studying, I felt capable of getting straight into a job.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing job-ready meant I was able to work while I was studying and be appropriately skilled once my studies were complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo work in this industry, you need good design and construction knowledge and an understanding of statutory planning and building regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe varied experience of the teaching staff and their enthusiasm to give the best opportunities and experiences was fantastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, with my own business, I love seeing how happy clients are with their new homes and seeing my ideas realised in the physical building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students get to work hands-on in a simulated office environment while studying at The Gordon.<\/p>\n

They acquire skills that directly relate to the various stages of a project including presentation, documentation, and architectural workflow processes for building projects and explore freehand to digital design techniques.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a couple of years of experience, students can go through a registration process and run their own business,\u201d said Marija Maccora, an advanced design and building teacher at The Gordon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the ultimate goal of many of our students like Madeleine.<\/p>\n

\u201cOthers who take a pathway to university to study architecture can gain credit transfers and earn up to 1.5 years off their five-year course.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur students are held in high regard in the building design industry. Many of our industry connections attend our end-of-year exhibition, where students display their work, and employment opportunities are created.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake the opportunity to talk with us and explore your career options at our upcoming information session Wednesday, 14 December.\u201d<\/p>\n
