All this comes to the birth of the architectural profession. In the middle ages there were scarcely such things ... they were mostly the illustrated masons, and, mostly, the general contractors themselves. Heavy duty but also good gains. Princes resented the company of such villain rich gents and saw proper by the quattrocento to have cavalier designers with less deep pockets. Builders themselves saw the opportunity of discharging in the naive cavaliers some of their responsabilities, and this continues till now. So as one put these days in one post, a structural designer ends taking high liabilities for what he earns ... not surprising, this was thought precisely that way.
