But  we do take advise from both depending on the Person and circumstances.Draftmen are not bad. During 70s we had hardly any Architects(Moratuwa Uni degree was not there) But chartered Architects were there. Designs were ok and they still last. Some are very beautifil even now!!Architects do scetches (do you know the of the Greatest Architects who designed Sydney Opera , just submitted skeches and when Australian govt engaged him to build the iconic arches he did not have a method to build it!! Once or twice it collapsed too!! So your observation is correct. They submit a 'dream' or 'Vision' of the design. So there can be issues in building!!Draftmen are not qualified as above, but through practical experience also do designs. They are mostly copies!! Few do their own but very rare . But their designs are more pragmatic.My advise is if you are going to build a house which cost more than 20 million get an Architect. But if it is less than 10 or around that Draftman is OK.  But be careful in selection.</blockquote>
