ARCHITECT Architects liaise with clients and other professionals to establish building type, style, cost limitations and landscaping requirements. They prepare detailed scale drawings and specifications for design and construction and submit these for planning approval. As part of the process, they will also analyse sites and undertake studies to identify the condition and characteristics, advise their clients on the development and monitor the construction work to ensure compliance with specifications. Architects train for approximately seven years, completing a degree and practical experience. To use the title ‘architect’ they must also register with the Architects Registration Board (ARB).
