Construction plays a critical role in architectural design as it involves the actualization of the design into a physical structure, ensuring that it is functional, safe, and aesthetically appealing. The construction process involves a range of activities, such as site preparation, foundation laying, framing, roofing, electrical, and plumbing installations, finishing, and landscaping, among others. The success of the design depends on the attention to detail and quality of construction. Therefore, architects must work closely with contractors and other construction professionals to ensure that the final product meets the design vision, functional requirements, and client's needs. Construction also has a significant impact on sustainability in architecture, as it determines the use of environmentally friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and the overall environmental impact of the building. Thus, the collaboration between architects and construction professionals plays a crucial role in shaping the built environment.
