Myths about architects

There are a lot of myths out there about architects. Perhaps you're not sure what an architect does or why you should use their services. Over the next six days I’ll share some myths about architects and the reality behind the myth!

Myth #1:  Architects only do drawings.

Architects do drawings and a whole lot more, including:

1. Renovation
2. Energy analysis
3. Site selection
4. Interiors
5. Cost analysis
6. Construction management
7. Flooring selection
8. Colour selection
9. Restore old buildings
10. Update old buildings
11. Design and build new buildings
12. Find a skilled craftsman

Architects can fit a building into a difficult site or enlarge a house, thus eliminating the need to move. We can make a building safe for occupancy. We can adapt a building to meet modern needs while maintaining character and charm or we can design a brand new abode from scratch.
