Architect vs Draftsperson vs Building Designer – what’s the difference?

Houses designed by architects sell for higher prices than the ones designed by the building designer. I would explain why ;

• Registered Architects have the Highest academic qualifications, and often they have Bachelor's and Master's degrees. While other Building designers need no or minimal academic qualifications other than drafting qualifications or skills.

• Architects must undertake many Tests and Exams to ensure they are qualified to design high-standard buildings that contribute to urban design and don't affect the environment negatively. While Building designers, they do not do that.

• Architects are permitted to build more than three-story buildings, while Building designers cannot build higher than a three-story building.

• Architects must renew their registration annually and submit evidence of their Continuing professional development  CPD. The CPD means that architects continue to update and develop their knowledge and skills. While Building designers are not required that.

• Architects design your house and your lifestyle living at it and design each building from scratch. While building designers usually design spaces, shapes and copy-paste used designs with few modifications, circulating similar designs around.

 Apart from the above, sometimes experienced building designers that develop themself, break these records. And usually, work on gaining their registration as architects. so they turn out to be architects. usually, architects started as building designers, gain years of practical experince and work their way up until they can be qualified architects.

As a result, architects are more qualified and knowledgeable, so their products would reflect that. And accordingly, their building would look amusingly great and sell for a higher price.
