Management of the Peter Adamson Architects PTY LTD Company needs to inform people who are thinking about building their homes, office buildings or any other type of building in Fraser Australia, that the responsibilities expected from Architects, Designers and Drafting Persons are distinctly very different. Each of these three skilled professions has their own unique role to play during the creation of drawings and plans for buildings that are to be constructed. Let us deal first with the responsibilities of an Architect. To put it bluntly an Architect must ensure that the building does not fall down after it has been built. An Architect needs to be a licensed professional, with an architectural degree, who has gone through an internship and arduous testing to meet strict licensing standards. An architect will only create designs and plans for all work that requires building permits and inspections. Often, city and county building codes necessitate an architects approval. New building owners must check with their building department in Fraser Australia to verify related licensing administration pre requisites.

An Architect is legally responsible for all design work that takes place on the building site. There are a number of homeowners associations in Fraser Australia that will insist that additions and remodelling projects be authorised and legally signed off by a registered architect. The local homeowners association architectural committee in Fraser Australia can provide specific guidelines for working within association covenants. Depending on what the Architect has specialised in during his or her studies, they will also have experience in a diversity of areas from historical preservation to structural engineering. On-going education by an Architect is stipulated by many states in Australia in order to maintain licensing standards. The next specialist that also has responsibilities in the design process of any type of building is a Designer. A designer will understand your vision and produce your related design. A designer has the ability to envisage ideas and produce usable working documents.

An architectural designer is trained to take your concept and create a workable vision. Designers can organise materials and colour effectively and efficiently and they can also define space usage. Designers are experts in many design techniques such as CAD drafting, including plans, details, sections, layouts with background and have the ability to work with architects and project managers. Designers can also generate elevations and floor plans that exemplify useful and appealing goals. Depending on the education level and background of a designer they might also possess construction experience as well as materials and standards research. Designers are usually educated and trained in the use and application of CAD but this type of skill is not mandatory. The licensing of a designer once qualified is also not legally necessary.
