Frequently asked questions

What is the job of an architect?

A hugely rewarding role, the job of an architect also carries great responsibility as they are the lynchpin of developments, creating detailed plans and concepts for new buildings or the renovation of older properties. 

They must combine a passion for creative design with a deep technical knowledge that ensures that each structure is not only visually appealing but is also safe and well-built as well as functional and fulfils modern sustainability requirements. 

Architects must translate a client’s needs and visions – and budget – to create a workable building, drawing up detailed technical designs that also consider the practical requirements such as lighting and ventilation. 

Working closely with surveyors, engineers and contractors throughout the construction lifecycle, architects will oversee progress, submitting plans to local planning authorities for approval and keeping the project on track.
