Your career as an architect begins at IUKL

Do you dream of designing, planning, managing, building or maintaining buildings like homes, offices, factories, hotels, malls, heritage buildings and more? Architecture and construction workers work on buildings like these and other structures such as bridges, tunnels, roads and highways, and more. Would you enjoy creating the designs or plans for new structures? Perhaps you’d prefer using the plans to build them, or manage the workers on the project.

But that’s not all – you also need workers who do skilled trades to complete the projects. These include carpentry, painting, plumbing, and even landscaping.
