Structural elements so the building stands up;
Services so that the building caters for the end user;
Compliance with Building Standards with respect to fire escape, disabled access and a thousand other considerations;
Finishes that keep the weather out and are actually suited to the local environment.
They are generally fluent in CAD, and are miracle workers.
