Careers in the Industry
Introduction
Building Design is emerging as a highly competitive and specialised
profession. Its practitioners (Building Designers) play an important role in the
design of residential and small commercial buildings.
Responsibilities of Roles in the Industry
Building Designers undertake a variety of functions in their day-to-day
activities. Their principal responsibility is to ensure that all buildings are well
designed and detailed in compliance with the relevant legislation and local
authority development approval. They liaise with builders, building surveyors,
local authorities, consultants and developers on a wide range of issues
relating to construction principles, sustainability, create 2D and 3D models
using the technology of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and manage the
preparation of presentation and working drawings for commercial and
residential development.
Employment Opportunities
Building design personnel are employed in both government and the private
sector. The public sector in which building designers gain employment include
housing and building facilities departments of local, state, and federal
governments. They are in high demand by other allied professions like
Architects, Engineers, Town Planners and Builders for their expertise.
Building designers can also work as sole traders under various state licencing
requirements.
Roles in the Industry

Work Experience
Working within the industry will help in your understanding of the course. We
realise local employment in your chosen field of study can be difficult to
obtain but dont be put off trying. Any practical experience is valuable. Make sure you keep a log or diary of work experience and obtain references
wherever possible; these may even qualify you for recognition. With a course
such as this, you are required to gain your own practical experience.
Remember, this is extremely important.
Whilst some subjects require you to do specific practical tasks, students who
actively seek practical experience usually perform better in assessments. This
relates to their ability to apply their new working knowledge. Another
advantage is that you become known within the industry which greatly improves your future employment prospects.
