How many hours do you work each day? At the peak period of building Foxdale Court, for at least six months the entire team was working 7 days a week. We could commence work at 7hrs in the morning for roll call, at which I was always present. The building team would knock off at 17:30hrs from Monday – Saturday and at 15hrs on Sunday. I would stay in the office on average until 7pm, each day, but on many days until 10pm, or into the early hours of the morning to ensure I was on top of e-mails, as during the day the work was very operational and on the ground liaising with suppliers and coordinating the building team to optimize on operations. Currently I get into the office before 8am, and work until around 6-7pm. I work on several weekends too, but I make sure I get some sport done during the week or over the weekend to keep active, which is generally a 15-20 minute run first thing in the morning, and I go horse riding over the weekend. I sometimes ride my bicycle to work. 47
