Answer to Question 1

Designers are responsible for designing projects and for performing engineering analysis to verify that their designs conform to legal requirements and standards, such as building codes, and to ensure that their designs meet the required factors of safety for each type of structure. Designers coordinate multiple disciplines and agencies and act as the representative of owners as their agent during construction. Designers verify conformance to the contract plans and specifications for owners.

Answer to Question 2

The first phase in the development of a construction project is the feasibility phase. During this phase contracts are formed between an owner and a consultant, an engineering firm, or an architectural firm to perform a feasibility and site selection study.
