2.2. The Spectrum of Architect’s Services

The spectrum of the Architect's services extends over the entire range of activities that proceed from the time the idea is conceived, perfected,
transformed into sets of space and design requirements, translated into structure through design, built, used and become a permanent feature of the
man - made feature of the man-made environment. The Architect's services consist of the necessary conferences , deliberations, discussions,
evaluations, investigations, consultations, advice on matters affecting the scientific, aesthetic and orderly coordination of all the processes of
safeguarding life, health, and property which enter into the production of different levels and sophistication of man-made structures and environment.
The Architect, in the process of translating abstract ideas into meaningful concrete terms, produces documents in the form of a data base report. an
architectural program, a feasibility study, a market study, an appraisal report, an impact analysis report, a space organizational setup report, a site
planning analysis and evaluation report, an operational programming report, building programming and scheduling report. A complete and detailed
documentation of construction drawings is prepared consisting of the architectural plans, the structural plans, the electrical plans, the
plumbing/sanitary plans, the mechanical plans, the civil works, the technical specifications and the other bid documents. Aside from these, the
Architects can prepare the post construction management documents, the operating manual, the maintenance manual and other forms of written and
graphical documentations necessary for the effective and efficient functioning of the man-made structures and environment. An appreciation of this
scope of services of the architect will bring into focus the crucial role that the architect assumes in the realization of abstract ideas tangible and
meaningful terms. Between abstract ideas and the physical world, stands the Architect.
