Develop detailed design drawings and specifications using computer-assisted drafting (CAD) equipment
Coordinate with and consult other workers to design, lay out, or detail components and systems and to resolve design or other problems
Analyze technical implications of architect’s design concept, calculating weights, volumes, and stress factors
Build landscape, architectural and display models
Coordinate structural, electrical and mechanical designs and determine a method of presentation to graphically represent building plans
Draw rough and detailed scale plans for foundations, buildings and structures, based on preliminary concepts, sketches, engineering calculations, specification sheets and other data
Obtain and assemble data to complete architectural designs, visiting job sites to compile measurements as necessary
Calculate weights, volumes, and stress factors and their implications for technical aspects of designs
Determine quality, cost, strength and quantity of required materials, and enter figures on materials lists
