Architects of industrial projects are a team of professionals. They guide clients through planning and designing with an eye on regulatory compliances and other statutory requirements for their projects.
Moreover, industrial Architects ensure that the clients make informed decisions about budget, the latest technology, and energy efficiency. The role of industrial architects is often underrated. They need all-rounded knowledge and expertise, the ability to understand and communicate. These skills are essential to design a functional, aesthetic and contemporary facility.
Additionally, the architects of industrial projects must have a total design approach while taking up the project.

- And they coordinate with process consultants and liasoning consultants
Some other roles include organising design charrette, pre-bid meetings, and kickoff meetings. They are also involved in assessment after project completion.
Moreover, any replies to RFIs are also in the scope of industrial architects. Also, some of the key deliverables of industrial architects include project-specific questionnaires and user requirement specifications. Masterplans, conceptual plans, and proposed plans are also part of their deliverables of the project.
To conclude, architects of industrial projects must be a part of the project from the pre-design stage to get optimal design.
