What 建築設計技術者 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
まず、顧客がどのような建物を建てたいのか、建築物の用途、規模、デザイン、構造、設備、予算、工期、立地条件、法的条件などについて詳しく調査し、打ち合わせを行う。
次に、顧客の要求を十分に採り入れながら、建物の用途や規模に応じて構造や材料、設備を決め、意匠設計図、構造設計図、設備設計図等の設計図を作成する。その際、環境へ配慮することも求められる。
大手・準大手のゼネコンや設計事務所では、BIMの導入により、3次元の図面情報をはじめ設計から施工、メンテナンスに至るまでの情報を一括管理が可能となり、ほとんどのワークフローで業務効率化が進んでいる。
一般的に建築物の建設は建築基準法等の法的規制を受けるため、関連する法手続を行う。工事中は、設計図どおり施工されているかどうかについて工事監理の業務を行う。
最近では、個々の建築物だけでなく、都市計画や地域計画の段階から建築設計技術者が参加することも多くなっている。
建築工事の分野が多様化し、分業化が進んでいるため、建築設計技術者は調査・設計の仕事を行い、現場での監督・指揮は建築施工管理技術者が行うのが一般的である。

Projected pay for 建築設計技術者 (3, 5 and 10 years)est.
Today ¥6.79M → in 3 years ¥7.37M → in 5 years ¥7.79M → in 10 years ¥8.93M (10-year range ¥7.68M–¥10.37M). The model assumes pay growth of +2.8% per year.
What drives the annual growth rate
Projected pay = current pay × (1 + annual growth)^years. The annual growth rate starts from a base wage-growth rate and adds or subtracts labor demand (the job-openings-to-applicants ratio), wage momentum and AI replacement risk for each occupation. Projections are not guarantees. How it is calculated →
Outlook score for 建築設計技術者
Each component is a percentile rank among all occupations in the same country (0–100). Weights: labor demand 25, wage momentum / openings 15, pay level 15, AI resistance 25, aging workforce 10 (Japan only), entry barrier 10.
Will AI replace 建築設計技術者? AI replacement risk
How AI is changing this job
A written analysis for this occupation is being prepared.
AI replacement risk compares the parts of a job that are easy to hand to AI or software (processing information, documentation, repetitive computer work) with the parts that are hard to automate (physical work, working closely with people, judgment in unpredictable settings), using the MHLW job tag survey on work activities, work context, skills and knowledge. The result is a relative position among all occupations in the country, scaled to 0–100%. Methodology →
Labor demand for 建築設計技術者
A ratio above 1.0 means there are more job openings than applicants (a labor shortage). The 5- and 10-year figures are estimates from the openings ratio, wage momentum and AI replacement risk.
