Technical Qualifications to Look for In An Architect

Architecture is one of the leading professions in the engineering world; both from a career and functional perspective. Architects are individuals who are licensed professionals hired by any construction firm or working on their own, planning and designing safe buildings and other constructional projects which are both beautiful and functional. They are considered to be involved in every aspect of the development of the building from start to finish. But to many, it can be confusing when coming from a professional point of view. Architects are sometimes considered as the ‘hat wearing’ man at the construction site who are there only for the design purpose.
