TROLLEY BAYS
Trolley bay does not feed to the driveway – but I must be able to get there – green line
Blue is kerb lines to create the trolley bays.
Trolley bay stands on the walkway paving not on road paving
@NIKKI – need to move the other side up and the paving layouts are wrong with the trolleys on the road level and type of paving

OFFICE WEIRD & WONDERFUL SMALLS
As communicated
previously, both in formal and internal correspondence, all time spent on
sundry and smaller projects for Muller Group must be recorded on timesheets.
These records
are required with immediate effect, as no submissions or confirmations have
been received to date other than the 12hours spent on Newcastle corner by
myself.
It was also
clearly indicated that SNA will be reimbursed based on an hourly rate by the
client, so not claiming the time is a “default” on our side as team.
It has come to
my attention that statements such as “Wynand doesn’t pay us for this” have been
communicated externally. This has resulted in a very difficult discussion with
a very concerned client, who has questioned whether we intend to continue
working with them, including on projects such as Ulundi. This is unacceptable
and must be addressed immediately.
All team members
are expected to fulfill their responsibilities, including accurate time
recording. This process is straightforward and forms part of our professional
obligations.
Please ensure
that all outstanding timesheets for January, February, and March are submitted
asap (a best guess to start from just looking at the mails sent should give a
good indication). It is essential that all requested work is completed as
committed.
Where the
expected timelines are not achievable, rather note what is potentially
achievable than aggravate / antagonise any party.
Leave the
business of how we get paid to me but enable me to ensure we are not at a loss
on time consuming topics where the opportunity exists.
Thank you for
your immediate attention to this matter – this is a note to the entire team,
not focussing on an individual – everybody is guilty of expressing
frustrations, not doing timesheets and often following bad examples – myself
included.

High-Level Brief
High-level brief
- The Parktown property is intended to serve as
a strategic commercial and academic hub for Rosebank International Group.
The building will accommodate the Commercial Executive leadership, the
Finance Department, the Rosebank International Online Campus, sales and
student support services, and RI call centres. The overall design must
project executive credibility, financial governance, and digital
innovation, while remaining student-focused and service-oriented. The
aesthetic should be contemporary, corporate, refined, and high-end, with
quality finishes and premium furniture throughout. This area will include
offices for the Commercial Executive team, a fully equipped boardroom with
hybrid meeting capability, executive meeting rooms, and an informal
executive lounge. Glass partitioning with privacy film, layered lighting,
and high-quality finishes should create a premium corporate environment
that communicates leadership and stability.
- The Finance Department will require a
structured, secure open-plan workspace, supported by team leader offices,
small meeting rooms, printing and administration areas, and a secure
filing and archive room. The layout must support productivity, confidentiality,
and efficient workflow.
- The Rosebank International Online Campus will
form a key operational pillar within the building. This division will
support online academic services, postgraduate qualifications, and evening
classes. The design must therefore include flexible classrooms that can
convert for evening lectures, hybrid-enabled teaching rooms with smart
technology, academic consultation rooms, student advisory spaces, and
collaborative breakout areas. The environment should feel modern,
innovative, and digitally forward.
- The sales office for online programmes,
academic support, and administration must be located within a
client-facing zone to enable efficient service delivery. This area should
accommodate walk-in enquiries while also supporting high-volume online
engagement.
- The RI call centres will require a
well-planned operational layout with structured workstations, supervisor
stations, performance display screens, and acoustically managed zones. A
nearby pause area should be incorporated to support staff wellbeing.
- The arrival experience is critical. The
reception area must be contemporary, welcoming, and impactful, with a
statement reception desk, branded feature walls, digital display screens,
and high-quality lounge seating. The space should immediately communicate
professionalism, innovation, and institutional strength. Interior finishes
throughout the building should include engineered wood or high-grade
flooring, glass and steel accents, acoustic elements, feature ceilings,
and statement lighting. Furniture must be ergonomic, executive-grade where
appropriate, and consistent with a premium corporate identity.
- Cafeteria services should be integrated into
the design to promote collaboration and social interaction. The cafeteria
must include a serving counter, coffee station, indoor dining areas, and
spill-out seating. Informal meeting tables and soft seating should
encourage cross-department engagement. In addition, landscaped outdoor
working areas should be created to enable staff to work or meet outdoors.
These areas must include WiFi coverage, shaded seating, plug points, and
appropriate hard and soft landscaping to ensure functionality and comfort.
- Interior and exterior signage must be
carefully considered. Exterior signage should include illuminated branding
and clear directional signage to establish a strong presence in Parktown.
Interior signage must support wayfinding, departmental identification, and
digital communication, while remaining sophisticated and aligned to the
brand.
