An architect provides various services throughout the design and construction of a building project. These include conceptual design, construction drawings, managing the bidding process, and overseeing construction. Architects work with clients to understand their needs and create preliminary designs. They then refine the design and produce detailed plans and specifications required to obtain permits and construction bids. During construction, architects ensure the project is built as designed and meets quality standards through site visits and progress reports. Their goal is to inspire communities through technical and aesthetic solutions that consider physical, social, cultural, and economic factors.

Profession of Architecture Architecture is the sole profession whose members are qualified to design and to provide advice, including technical and aesthetic judgment, on the built environment. Architects provide services and solutions with technical competence and aesthetic sensitivity suitable to the physical, social, cultural, and economic environment, thereby inspiring the community and its citizens. In matters of public health and safety, architects are obliged to serve the public interest and respond to the public need. And now, these concepts of health and safety have been expanded to encompass the sustainability of the global environment and accessibility for all persons.
(^) SCHEMATIC DESIGN – During this stage your architect will begin by preparing preliminary design sketches based on your requirements and budget to explore and illustrate possible options. The architect will review these options with you, pointing out the merits and responding to your input. (^) PROJECT INCEPTION - The planning of your project starts here. Working together with your architect, you will share your project needs, dreams and goals. (^) DESIGN DEVELOPMENT – This stage refines the agreed upon schematic design for a clearer definition of the scope and quality of the finished project. Further cost projections will determine how closely the design conforms to the budget expectations, or what, if any, adjustments are required.
(^) CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS – When the design concepts have been decided, the architect prepares working drawings and specifications. These are required to obtain building permits and bids, and to guide the contractor in construction. (^) BIDDING AND NEGOTIATION – Your architect can advise you on your choice of contractor – usually done by calling for competitive bids. Your architect will help evaluate the bids and select the contractor, and prepare the contract between you and the contractor. (^) CONSTRUCTION AND CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION – Your architect will consult with you and advise you during construction. On-site visits will determine if construction is proceeding in general accordance with the contract, and that the design, materials, and workmanship meet with acceptable standards. (^) SUBSTANTIAL PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION / OCCUPANCY CERTIFICATE – Your architect provides regular progress reports to keep you informed, authorizes staged payments to the contractor and remains involved until the project is completed.
Architects sometimes specialize in one phase of work. Some specialize in the design of one type of building—for example, hospitals, schools, or housing. Others focus on planning and predesigned services or construction management and do minimal design work. There is an increase in demand for architects with knowledge of ‘green' design. Green design, also known as sustainable design, emphasizes the efficient use of resources such as energy and water, waste and pollution reduction, conservation, and environmentally friendly design, specifications, and materials. Rising energy costs and increased concern about the environment has led to many new buildings being built ‘green.'
