Therefore, with a help of architect, various tools to first capture the vision from the buyer and then provide the builder with instructions including such tools as line drawings, blueprints, models, detail specifications, and even on-site inspections. The architect knows how to both plan and capture vision. Therefore, they are called system analyst and they know how to handle situations and they keep track of the details without writing them down.
