Technical architects are responsible for the fine details of a building’s planning, ensuring that it can successfully be built and that it will function. Technical architects produce construction drawings and participate in construction administration. Smaller projects may not separate the design and technical roles, but for larger-scale projects, like office buildings, technical architects are usually essential. The creation of new buildings is a complex endeavor, and project managers staff the project, develop a work plan, and coordinate daily between the many different members of the team. Project managers require a deep knowledge of the architectural process to communicate with all parties, problem-solve, and lead.
