When building a home, office, or any other structure from the ground up, you want to make sure your new building is not only beautiful on the inside and outside but also safe and functional. With training and experience, architects use their creative imagination and analytical minds to create stunning structures. Below, the experts at T.A.B. Design Architects explain what an Architect does and why you need to hire one to help you with your building design.

What Is an Architect?

Focusing on both function and aesthetic, Architects are trained and licensed individuals who can provide advice and plan design structures used for private and public use. Architects go to school for many years and are required to complete internships to learn the required information to pass a state exam to obtain their license.

Architects are involved in every phase of building and use their artistic imagination and creative thought to design structures fulfilling the aesthetic, cultural, and functional needs of the client. With lots of technical and practical experience, architects can create safe, sustainable, and beautiful buildings. 

Why Do I Need Architect Services for My Building Design?

If you are considering a new building design, why should you hire an Architect? Architects are not only experts at space planning, to create functional, aesthetically pleasing interior and exterior spaces, but they are also licensed to design structures and create construction documents.

Architects can offer you comprehensive services. They start with a systematic design where they will discuss ideas, concerns, budgets, and functions with their client. The Architect will analyze the needs of the client and create sketches showing size, layout, and appearance of the future structure. If the client is satisfied, the Architect will do the hard work of taking the sketch and turning it into a real building design, including specifications, scale drawings, and structural plans.

The next step is drawing the construction documents to obtain a permit and hire a contractor who will build the desired design. Afterward, an Architect will make sure the builder is following the plans and specifications to create the home or building of your dreams.
