MAP Projects, London, UK
Mr Vladimir Ivanov Dimitrov worked for us at Map Projects from 20th November 2013, up until 30th September 2014 and from 1st July 2015 up until 6th November 2015.
He was involved in eight different projects that our company has worked on. They were all large high-end residential refurbishments in London, where a high standard of finishes was expected, and intricate detailing was required. Vladimir is able to understand and solve complex three-dimensional junctions, and it was clear that he has a good understanding of architectural drawings. He has distinguished himself with an exceptional work ethic, and he has produced work with speed and attention.
He was involved in three planning applications that he brought to successful completion.
Additionally, he was involved in two further projects, in which he solved setting out problems of structural elements, and interfaces with electrical and mechanical equipment.
Furthermore, he produced detailed drawings for construction, involving some complex minimal detailing for a large flat.
Finally, he detailed for another large project a substantial joinery package, that required interfaces with lighting equipment and many one-off bespoke items.
His attitude in the office and on site has always been courteous and cooperative, and we think he will be a very good asset to any team or company that might choose to work with him.
