Building design refers to the broadly based
architectural,
engineering and
technical applications to the
design of
buildings. All building projects require the services of a building designer, typically a licensed
architect or
structural engineer. Smaller, less complicated projects often do not require a licensed professional, and the design of such projects is often undertaken by building designers, draftspersons,
interior designers (for interior fit-outs or renovations), or
contractors. Larger, more complex building projects require the services of many professionals trained in specialist disciplines, usually coordinated by an architect.
