What is an Architectural/Engineering Consultant?

An Architectural or Engineering Consultant is a professional who provides expert advice, technical analysis, and specialized design services to property owners, developers, and facility managers.

Unlike a general contractor who builds the project, or an architect who designs the overall building, the consultant acts as a technical advocate often in a focused role, on behalf of the client, ensuring that the finished building is safe, compliant with codes, and functioning efficiently.

For complex projects—like the ones handled by firms like STR-SEG—the role of the consultant becomes more important, focusing on the critical detailing that controls air and moisture movement in the building envelope.
