An architectural assistant is a professional who acts in a support role to the lead architect and the architectural project team. They are typically someone who is entering the profession and requires practical experience in order to progress to becoming an architect.

The role and responsibilities of an architectural assistant are varied and may range from involvement with the initial client briefing process, to creating large-scale plans and drawings, to preparing written reports, overseeing compliance with regulations and specifications, managing bidding and so on.

Primarily, the role is to provide basic support to the rest of the project team and free up the other architects to be able to concentrate on more complex tasks. They may also act as a liaison between the client and the project team on matters of requirements and specifications by reviewing and refining designs.

Architectural assistants are typically either Level I or Level II. Level I are entry-level standard and often don’t have any prior experience in the industry aside from an architecture (or related) university degree so tend to require more supervision from superiors. Level II are usually at the same educational level but tend to have one or more years of practical experience and are therefore usually capable of being given more independence.
