Performance indicators:
1. Organises and leads the preparation of design documentation, incl. the work of people creating individual parts of design documentation, for construction work that is within the limits of their competence, setting the high quality and integrity of the design documentation as their goal and coordinating and being responsible for the compatibility of its parts.
2. Determines and balances the interests and needs of the parties involved through a spatial solution, taking into account important circumstances (the needs of the users and the customer, public interest, legislation, best practice, etc.).

1. Comprehends the relationship between people and the environment under construction and between the latter and the pre-existing environment, taking into account the buildings, the space between them and whether they meet people's needs and are in harmony with nature.
2. Comprehends the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, the connections between public, semi-public and private spaces and the differences between urban and non-urban spaces.
3. Comprehends spatial planning, the design of construction work, construction and using construction work as a uniform process that is a prerequisite for the creation of a well-constructed environment.
4. Comprehends and implements methods used for fundamental research or by similar professions to create primary conditions and spatial solutions.
5. Perceives the multiplicity of choices, tests, analyses and assesses spatial solutions, draws conclusions and makes choices based on adequate creative, aesthetic, philosophical, methodological and theoretical principles.
6. Comprehends the functional connections between spatial planning and architectural design.
7. Has and implements knowledge of engineering at a level that enables them to set tasks for the creators of individual parts of design documentation.
8. Takes into account the needs of the users of the environment under construction along with possibilities and limitations and the principles of sustainable development.
9. Leads the activity of preparing design documentation as a whole, ensuring creative and high-quality results within the limits of their competence.
