ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ARCHITECTURE DESIGNERS

Architecture Designers are responsible for the visual appearance of buildings and structures as they are in charge of design and project planning. Architects are individual registered with the local Governing body. In order to become licensed, they must meet certain specific and professional training requirements to pass the essential exams. Individuals who call themselves architects provide services even without licenses but they are not supposed to call themselves professional architects because they cannot sign the construction documents.

Professionals such as civil and HVAC engineers work hand-in-hand with architects. During all the stages of a project, right from the initial drafts and meetings to the inauguration of the building the architects have several responsibilities to fulfill. After being appointed by the client, they have the duty of collecting information and ideas essential to create a functional space that meets the client's needs while being code compliant.

Roles of Architects

Once a client contacts an architect, a meeting is held to discuss all the needs and requirements of the project. Sometimes many meetings are held until both the client and the architect are satisfied with the design draft. Designing an entire building is a difficult task for a single person hence the architects work with civil and structural engineers to consult about the technical issues and structural integrity of the building.

 Architects are involved in much more than just the design drafting of the project. they are important in every stage of a particular project and this article summarizes their responsibilities. They help in improving energy efficiency by maximizing natural lighting and ventilation while reducing the heating and cooling needs while designing the project.

Project Discussion

A client wants to bring life to a concept or an idea so he hires a professional architect to create a detailed design of that concept or idea. Before the design is approved several meetings and discussions with different team members and engineering professionals are held. During those meetings topics related to client requirements, budget estimation, site characteristics, safety, and local planning regulations are brought into the discussions.

Documentation and Drawings

All the detailed drawings and testing of the project feasibility are the responsibility of the architect. Traditionally it was done by hand but during the modern era, a lot of BIM and CAD software are available to speed up the process significantly. Multiple revisions and drawings take place during this stage to incorporate the changes based on client needs, budget, and regulations.

Once the final blueprints are available, it helps the builders to deliver the desired structure which includes all the structural, mechanical, and electrical system plans. Along with the plans other technical documents are to be created such as design instructions and technical specifications for contractors. After the final design comes to the contract proposal, which contains all the cost estimates and the timescale of the project.

Cost Estimation

At different stages of the project Cost Estimation allows better control over the budget of the project. Architects are the professionals who visualize the whole building structure and bring creative designs and ideas to the construction industry, but these also require an underlying structural design and MEP installations.

Architects are supposed to be really careful not to underestimate the cost of materials and construction time since it helps in providing cost estimations. The cost estimations depend on the extent of work and the number of details provided by them. They can just be in charge of presenting a part of the landscape or a complete construction estimation.

Contracts

During the contract negotiation phase, the architects are of great help and they may even suggest and choose the contractors for different activities required for the project. The architects carry out analysis reports once all the tenders are received and compare the results with the client's expectations and the actual budget.

 Construction Stage

The architects will perform site visits, conduct meetings and negotiate with contractors and deal with issues and resolve them when they occur, only after the construction begins. Architects' signatures and approval are required on some of the documents that come across during the construction phases.

 

 Architects develop social skills and manners since they are the first construction professionals who work with clients. They work with clients closely during all stages of a particular project so they must have excellent oral and written communication skills. All their designs, plans, and development concepts are based on client requirements and ideas. They must stay up-to-date with all the new laws and requirements so the client has a hassle-free construction of their project. A good working relationship has to be present with the client so the client is satisfied after getting their requirements and vision satisfied by the architect, as that's the reason they choose to hire an architect for their project.
