At the stage of programmingthe architect analyzes the needs of its customer, while taking into account other factors that can influence the work of the construction, renovation or leasehold improvement to run (regulatory, PIIA, the initial state of the building, available space, etc). From this analysis, the architect shall submit its recommendations, as well as a rough estimate of the cost of the construction, renovation or leasehold improvement suggested.

When design of the project, the architect realized the sketches and coordinating the project with engineers, if applicable. In terms of a trade, the architect changes to his sketches in order that they meet the needs and requests, always in the respect of the factors that may influence work (see the factors previously mentioned). When the design stage is complete, the architect can provide an accurate estimate of the cost of the construction, renovation or leasehold improvement. After the approval of the costs, plans and specifications are completed and ready to be sent to the contractors required to the realization of the work. The architect coordinates the activities related to his area of expertise and can perform the monitoring of the work to ensure that they are consistent with the plans and specifications.
