Why you need the AIA
Architects do a great many things, far more than just designing a building. Architects and their collective voice, the AIA, recognize emerging talent, help the National Sleep Foundation design a better night’s sleep, assist professionals in finding their voice, change the paradigm of institutional care by designing facilities to be inclusive of behavioral health, they even go so far as to put pressure on congress to make energy efficiency part of the national debate. In short, architects use the power of architecture to influence the well-being of people.
But what can an architect do for you? Whether you’re adding a room or building a multi-story commercial building, an architect’s main function is to save you a ton of money in the long run. Architects can do everything from geological surveys to zoning & building permits to hiring specialty sub-contractors such as Haas Entertainment for lighting control or audio & video installations. Having a professional hire other professionals helps prevent the costliest of mistakes.
