We will clarify the legal status of construction supervision in the Architects Act and the Building Standards Act. Through understanding the flow of system reforms and the relationship between the administrative and civil liabilities assumed by architects, you will learn about the social and legal responsibilities that professional architects bear.

【３】Understanding Standard Services and Fee Criteria
