In the construction world it is necessary to understand the differences that exist between architectural projects, remodeling works that do not imply approval of projects or structural projects, which assume different roles and serve different scopes. In Portugal, architectural projects and structural projects are essential to ensure safe and legalized works, so we explain to you, in this article, what each aspect consists of and its differences.
For both types of projects, we always recommend that you ask a specialized professional, with knowledge about the area, to obtain as much information and get the best possible work.
Architectural projects
An architectural project, or architecture, is a type of process that must be thought and elaborated by an Architect, who assumes the responsibility of creating an original building, with structures appropriate to certain specifications and concrete guidelines.
This type of project will have a representation of what will be put into practice through a sketch or mockup, so that the idea of how the space was imagined, but also floor plans, cover plans, graphic layouts, cuts and higher elevations is represented.
In this type of project are thought the types of problems that can occur, at the functional level and at the time of execution, and the solutions to avoid future obstacles during the work.
Thus, an architectural project will always have thought the details that involve different characteristics, either acoustic, thermal comfort or ventilation, and the land where the construction is made is monetized in the best way, based on the needs and requests of the client who requested the work.
Structural projects
These types of projects are complements to architectural projects, carried out by a Civil Engineer and that focus on the detail and design of the structural elements of the house, such as slabs, beams and pillars.
Thus, this type of contract happens within the technical criteria required by the regulated standards, avoiding problems that present risks in the construction structure and enabling greater detail in the use of materials. At this point, special attention is paid to the profitability of the material, avoiding waste and considering the resources and available time allocated to the construction.
What does the law say in Portugal?
According to Portuguese law, the law provides for the preparation of both types of project for any civil construction work involving structural changes (which exclude minor remodeling, for example). The responsibility of these projects falls, therefore, on professionals qualified as architects and civil engineers.
Both architectural and structural projects are two essential pieces in the success of any undertaking and, by understanding their differences and complementarities, you can ensure safe, functional and aesthetically pleasing constructions that will contribute to the well-beingbe of people.
Remember these recommendations:
• Consult legally qualified professionals to guide you in the construction stages;
• Validate the compatibility between the respective projects in relation to the intervention you want to implement;
• Invest in quality projects to have a smooth work and a final result to your liking
