I have been to so many construction sites. I look around at how things are done and sometimes I wonder why things work the way they are. In most building construction sites, the job of supervision of the project is done by an architect. He tells the masons what to do and how to go about the project from the foundation. In some other cases, construction sites are supervised by civil engineers. The big question is, "in a building project, where does the role of the architect and the civil engineer start and stop"? It seems nowadays these two building professionals are overlapping with each other's duties.
And the architect argues that they are supposed to supervise the building project because they designed it. The civil engineer argues that they understand the nitty gritty of a building, and they are supposed to be in charge after the architect finishes doing the design. What are the roles of these two construction professionals in a building project?
