Both civil engineering and architecture are involved in planning and designing structures. However, architecture focuses more on the spatial functionality and aesthetics of the development work and is more concerned with the artistry, look, feel and functionality of the design, while civil engineering concentrates on the structural elements of the design, making certain that the structure can endure normal and extreme conditions. To summarize, architecture's primary concern is designing the development work while civil engineering's responsibility is ensuring that the design is implemented in a safe and reliable manner. Civil engineers and architects may sometimes overlap each other's work but a good relationship between the two professions will make the construction job more effective and successful. * Money comes with expertise and experience, both the profession have high job opportunities and money.
