Interior Designers
(OP)
Anybody got any idea why interior designers are regulated by the same board as regulates engineers, surveyors, architects, and LAs in some states? I don't know much about the field, but it would seem to me to be a pretty wide departure from the other fields.

I don't know if engineers bump up against interior designers doing the same work or not, but architects do. In fact, saying 'interior designer' in a social setting populated by architects is tantamount to throwing a 55-gallon drum of blasting powder onto an open flame.

Why wouldn't the architect handle those sorts of interior build-out issues? Seems a lot like the purvey of an architect to me.

My sister is a trained interior designer who is working as an architect and my uncle is a trained architect who did interior design.

I am working on a job right now where an Interior Designer is the project manager for a remodel on a cliff side mansion and they got caught while building with some Civil drainage issues. It's not quite as easy talking to an interior designer about drainage and building issues compared to an Architect.
