Environmental designers typically work in urban planning, architecture, or landscape architecture firms¹. They focus on
constructing buildings structurally for residential and commercial purposes that are functional and environmentally
friendly¹. They design and build the right infrastructures, and they use high-tech software to design structures¹. In
addition, these professionals focus on techniques and materials that are environmentally suitable, and they work as a
planner by providing analysis and formulate strategies with an eye toward long-term needs¹.

A **construction manager** is a professional who oversees and coordinates construction projects from start to finish.
They are responsible for planning, organizing, and managing all aspects of the construction process, from project
initiation to completion¹.

Construction managers work closely with project stakeholders, such as clients, architects, engineers, contractors, and
subcontractors, to ensure that projects are executed efficiently and meet the desired objectives. They handle tasks
such as scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, and risk management to ensure that construction projects are
completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards¹.

Some of the key responsibilities of a construction manager include:

- Developing project plans, including defining project scope, objectives, and deliverables.

- Creating project schedules, establishing timelines, and setting milestones to ensure that the project progresses
efficiently.

- Conducting feasibility studies and collaborating with architects and engineers during the design phase to review
plans, estimate costs, and identify potential challenges.

- Handling resource allocation, including labor, equipment, and materials.

- Managing subcontractor relationships.

- Monitoring and supervising on-site activities, ensuring that construction work is carried out safely and in compliance
with building codes and regulations.

- Facilitating collaboration among project team members, resolving conflicts, and addressing any issues or challenges
that arise during construction.

The role of an architectural designer involves translating the client's requirements and vision into visual
representations, typically through the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software. One of the primary
responsibilities of an architectural designer is to create detailed drawings and blueprints that illustrate the proposed
design. They consider factors such as aesthetics, functionality, safety regulations, and building codes while developing
their designs. They collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure that the design is structurally sound and
feasible. Additionally, architectural designers may also be involved in researching materials, selecting finishes, and
coordinating with contractors during the construction phase. Their goal is to create designs that not only meet the
client's needs but also enhance the overall environment and contribute to the architectural landscape ¹.
