WORK ENVIRONMENT

In Manitoba, it is required by law for an architect to be involved in the design and construction of most public use and large buildings (e.g., schools, hospitals, shopping malls, multi-family residential).

Although some people do hire the services of an architect to build or renovate a single-family house or other small-scale buildings for certain uses, it is not required by law.
