      Do you mean to get a liscense, to build the building?
      You can design the building designs, then go to a civil engineer, check if the designs are ok, and he can stamp them, am i right?

        right, someone that's willing to say 'this building won't fall down and you can sue me if it does'
        be prepared to pay a lot of cash for this service ๐Ÿ˜„ (especially if you're talking about a 7-story office building)

          Here in the states anyone can design anything...but getting a building permit for almost any project will require construction drawings (different from design drawings, of course you know) stamped by an architect or engineer (and it is illegal for them to stamp drawings completed without their direct supervision :`)

                  Pbacot, y'all in "Galivornia" have earthquakes to consider in your plans, especially in buildings taller than 36ft, so that's totally understandable.

                    Depends on your country and jurisdiction. What you describe is illegal in some places. The plans and design are supposed to be prepared by the licensed professional in many (most?) cases. Simply "plan stamping" another's work in my state (California) can cause the engineer to be penalized. You might go to your state, province etc. and see what the professional practice law is.

                    Or you can design whatever you want, but you might not be allowed to build it. ๐Ÿ˜„

                    [Edit] Also there are laws on what you can call yourself. Again in California just mentioning architecture can get you in trouble if you are not licensed. Although it isn't necessarily the best career path, if you're going to do this work, better just to go towards getting a license.

                        I'm saying this, beause here in greece we have not private universities in which i can go and get an architecture degree, and of course uk and usa are too far away from my country and the universities tuition rates are huge there.
                        So do you guys have an idea how can i get an architecture degree to get me licensed?
