When you're first starting out in architectural design, you'll rarely work with clients who have unlimited budgets.

Almost everyone you design for will have to keep costs in check, and many will be working within tight constraints.

Can you deliver beautiful, functional, eco-friendly, innovative designs on a budget? Absolutely. Provided you know how to keep costs low without sacrificing on quality.

Architectural drafters participate in every stage of the design and construction process. They work closely with architects, engineers and builders to map out schematics and blueprints—and follow projects throughout construction, ensuring they stay true to the original concept.
