Architect or Building Designer?

For many people, trying to figure out if they need an architect or a building designer means listening to a bevy of messages, all which are rhetoric.

Both architects and designers need to be registered to perform their duties; architects are licensed under the Architects Act, and designers under the Queensland Building Services Authority.

Essentially, both compete on the open market for work. Although it is fair to say that architecture is more comfortable at the high end of the market than single to medium housing solutions.

It comes down to the level of service you need, or can afford. Building Concepts and Solutions offer a one-stop-shop approach to residential building projects. BC&S are firmly situated at the practical end of the market, offering innovative design, contract documentation control, and specifications.
Building Solutions and Design services are focused on projects that will get the go ahead and will be built.
