Architects are licensed professionals who organise space. They design and supervise construction of houses, office buildings, skyscrapers, landscapes and even entire cities. The fees of an architect depend on the type of project are usually a percentage of total construction costs. The aspects of an architect’s work can be split into three main phases - the design, documentation and construction roles. In the design role, an architect is hired by a client to produce detailed designs of a concept that the client wants to bring to reality incorporating public safety and building regulations.

The construction stage involves the architect doing site visits and meetings, overseeing construction and dealing with contractors. Less
