Work Place

Architects spend much of their time in offices, interacting with clients and other professionals and developing reports and drawings. Some architects work from home offices. They travel to construction sites to ensure that the client's objectives are met and to review the progress of projects. Although most architects work full time, many work long hours, especially when facing deadlines. Self-employed architects may have to work long hours, too, but they have more flexible work schedules than architects employed by a business.
