ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE

Despite the tremendous developments and evolution in the field of Architecture, people still often ask this fundamental question, “What exactly does an Architect do?”, or ,” What does making a building really involve?” , or , ” If the building is being constructed on site, why does the architect need an office?”

Here are 4 info graphics which give some idea about the work going on at the back end in the process of a structure being made. *This is just a general idea, the processes may be different depending on the nature of the project.

The graphics have been divided into 4 stages :

1. Design Stage
2. Tender and Site Mobilization Stage
3. Construction Stage
4. Completion Stage

TENDER STAGE

CONSTRUCTION STAGE

COMPLETION STAGE

Did you know, that the more time and  effort one puts in BEFORE the project starts (in planning), the better the project takes shape ?

This is a very simplistic representation. A successful project depends on the active and dedicated participation and contribution of all the stakeholders.
