Architect Career Details
Architects and their clients participate in a long and rewording process by which their works are created. In a four step process architects design and refine their art into something tangible. Step one: architects meet with their client to talk about the appropriate budget and requirements for the project. Step two: the architect draws the initial sketches for review. The final construction plans are then discussed in step three between the architect and the client.
These plans include the nuances of the building along with the structural system, air-conditioning, heating, and ventilating systems, and the electrical system, plumbing, and landscaping plans. They will also discuss the building materials and interior furnishings that will be used. At this stage architects make sure they have followed all the required building codes, zoning laws, and fire regulations.
Architects may help the client find a contractor and will meet with the contractor throughout the duration of the project to check on construction. Even when construction is finished an architect may visit the site to be sure facilities are moving smoothly.
