Understanding the Difference: Architect, Engineer, Building Designer, Draftsperson, and Contractor

Not all building professionals serve the same role. Understanding who does what can help you choose the right team for your project.

Whether your project is building a home, an addition, or a commercial project, it often involves several different professionals. While their services may appear similar at first glance, their education, licensing requirements, legal responsibilities, and areas of expertise can vary significantly. Understanding these differences will help you choose the right professional for your project and avoid costly surprises later.

Please refer to the chart of professionals and service.
