I will use the term designer throughout the text to imply either an architect or an engineer.

The construction manager works with both the architect and the engineer on a regular basis throughout the construction process. The following are the primary responsibilities of the designers:

 Assisting the owner in developing the facility program and determining end user needs and requirements

 Advising the owner regarding the image and character of the facility and establishing broad design goals

 Assisting the owner in selecting products to fit the program and the budget

 Advising the owner on special and aesthetic issues and generating graphic solutions to problems

 Developing the final building plans, construction details, and specifications

To better understand the distinctions between architectural design and engineering design, consider the human body. Just as a body has a particular functional design with arms, legs, and a head, as well as skin and hair to protect it from the elements, so does a building with various rooms, porches, stairs, an exterior cladding of brick or siding, and shingles or asphalt on the roof to keep it dry. The body has a skeletal system to keep it straight and upright, and a building has a structural frame to keep it straight and upright. The body has a circulation system to move blood and nutrients. A building has a plumbing and mechanical system to move water, waste, heat, and air conditioning. The body has a central nervous system to send energy to our legs and arms. A building has an electrical and communications system to send messages and deliver power to our offices and living spaces. Basically, architects deal with the arms, legs, hair, and skin, and engineers deal with the bones, blood, and nerves.
