Have you ever stopped to take a glimpse at the many buildings around you? From small apartment homes to tall business buildings, each were designed by their very own architect(s).
Architects work with their clients to design and sketch blueprints for both new and old buildings. After the design has been approved, the architect works with construction managers and other associates, and participates in the construction of the building. The architect organizes the activities that each associate will perform, as well as negotiates contracts.
Architects are responsible for the safety and stability of the buildings they have designed. The designs must follow all local by-laws.
