	Building design was traditionally carried out by a small team of consultants working for a client, who would complete the design before seeking tenders from contractors to carry out the works. However, as buildings have become more complex, design and construction have begun to overlap, a wide range of specialist designers have emerged, contractors have taken on more of a managerial role, and the whole supply chain has become engaged in the design process. As a result, it is increasingly important to define precisely who is responsible for which part of the design.
