Hello all , i am a civil engineering student.I was having a question that whether a civil engineer can make a house without an architect ? Also , in pakistan , for the house map to be approved , do you need an architectural licence ? Looking forward to your reply.Thanks
You can use software such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD or Chief Architect to do it yourself but the experience of the architect is necessary to ensure that the design complies with rules and regulations of your society and also for practical issues such as usual practices with regard to location of stairs etc.
