About the profession

Architects work across concept, permitting, detailed design and construction supervision, and few practices need all four from one person. Building codes, permitting procedures and licensing are local, so jurisdiction is part of the role definition.

Project type matters as much as style. Residential, commercial, hospitality and public projects differ in regulation, budget discipline and the documentation expected.

Skills to look for

• Revit and BIM workflows
• AutoCAD and detailing
• SketchUp, Rhino and 3D modelling
• Building codes and permitting
• Construction documentation
• Rendering and visual presentation
• Cost and material awareness
• Site supervision and contractor coordination

Common specialties

Residential

Houses and apartment projects from concept to permit.

Commercial and office

Workplace and retail projects with fit-out coordination.

Interior architecture

Spatial planning and detailing inside an existing envelope.

BIM coordination

Model management across architectural and engineering disciplines.

Visualisation

Presentation material for clients, competitions and approvals.

Experience and seniority

Junior architects model and document under supervision. Mid-level architects run a project stage and coordinate consultants. Senior and licensed architects take design responsibility, sign drawings where the jurisdiction requires it and manage clients.

Remote, hybrid or on-site

Concept, modelling and documentation can be fully remote, and international collaboration is common. Permitting and construction phases usually need someone licensed and present locally.
