Architects design buildings and the spaces around them, balancing what a client wants against budget, site constraints, building codes, and how people will actually use the place. The role runs from early sketches and concept models through to detailed technical drawings and site visits during construction. Much of the week is drawing, modelling, and writing, punctuated by client meetings and consultant coordination.

Landscape architects design outdoor spaces such as parks, streetscapes, campuses, and the ground around buildings, working with planting, levels, drainage, paving, and how people move through a site. The job mixes creative design with technical work on grading, stormwater, and plant selection for the local climate. Site visits and consultation with communities and authorities are a regular part of it.

Urban and regional planners assess how land should be used and shape the policies and permissions that govern development. They review planning applications, write policy and zoning documents, and weigh housing, transport, environment, and heritage considerations against each other. The work involves a lot of evidence gathering, report writing, and public consultation, and decisions are often contested.
Bachelor's degreeArchitecture, construction and infrastructure
Quantity surveyors manage the money and contract side of a construction project, from early cost advice through tendering, valuations, variations, and final account. They may act for the client or for the contractor, and the two roles negotiate against each other. The work is contractual and numerical, with regular site measurement and progress assessment.
Bachelor's degreeArchitecture, construction and infrastructure
Construction planners build and maintain the programme that says what happens in what order and how long it takes, then track actual progress against it. They model logic links, resources, and float, and analyse the effect of delays and changes. The work supports both delivery decisions and contractual claims about who caused a slip.

Code enforcement officers deal with work and buildings that are already out of compliance: unpermitted construction, unsafe structures, and breaches of local building bylaws. They investigate complaints, gather evidence, issue notices and orders, and follow cases through to compliance or prosecution. Much of the difficulty is procedural and interpersonal rather than technical.
