An architect describes the process of designing a project from an initial briefing to balancing work and family life. They state that a successful architect must divide their time well between their career and family. The design process begins with a briefing from the client and assessing the site constraints before starting freehand sketches. Monitoring contractors to ensure projects are completed on schedule is cited as a key challenge, as miscommunication or delays can cause issues meeting deadlines. Passion and perseverance are needed to survive the studies of architecture. The number of architects required depends on the scale and complexity of the individual project.

contractor. Contractor more to the time will delay their job because of
some reasons. Therefore, architect have to ensure the work by the
contractor is on time and not to be late too much. Let’s say the contract
is two years, in between the process all the architects and consultants
have to monitor and ensure that the two years period can be achieved.
The main problem normally is miscommunication and lack of
