Technologists specialize in the technical aspects of architecture, as opposed to the creative, organizational and management side.
They are generally not qualified in design, although many architects who have failed to complete their architectural courses for whatever reason often become technologists, wherein many parts of the world there are no specific qualifications required. It’s entirely possible to become a good technologist without formal study but learning on the job. The same cannot be said of an architect.
They are not usually qualified or experienced to design major buildings, but it is common for them to design houses for example.
I don’t mean to devalue the role of technologists, for example, because many are much better than architects in terms of their level of understanding of how to build and detail reliably. Many are also competent and creative designers in their own right, despite not being qualified as such. They do a lot of the ‘heavy lifting’ behind the scenes and tend to produce a lot more drawings than architects.
A great many of the most impressive and prestigious buildings could not have been created without architectural technologists, and for some duties, I would take a technologist over an architect any day!
Generally speaking, technologists cannot ‘sign off’ buildings. They are not bound by the requirement to carry professional indemnity insurance.
Architects have a much broader range of skills than technologists, but they are not necessarily superior in the shared ones.
Architecture is a profession, and an architectural technologist is a job?
If you’re asking about the difference between an architect and architectural technologist that’s different then.
Architects have more responsibilities and can focus on everything from design to site inspections to the administration of contracts. Generally, 5% of their time is spent in front of a computer drawing, whilst the rest of the time is answering emails, coordinating with other members of the design team, clients, contractors. Or on-site inspecting projects and making decisions on unexpected problems.
Except for in rare cases, a technologist is more likely to be office-based, and their knowledge is generally more based on construction and services. At least in the office, I work in, they are also in charge of the majority of CAD drawings and help transform architects’ scribbles in legible documents.

How the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement Differ?
A balance sheet is a summary of the financial balances of a company, while a cash flow statement shows how the changes in the balance sheet accounts–and income on the income statement–affect a company’s cash position. In other words, a company’s cash flow statement measures the flow of cash in and out of a business, while a company’s balance sheet measures its assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity.
Balance Sheet, on the other hand, is the statement which reveals the overall financial strength of the concern by showing the balances of assets, liabilities, and capital of the enterprise at a given date. In this article, we have discussed some noteworthy differences between Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement.
Cash flow Statement is as important as the other two parts (Profit & Loss Account and Balance Sheet) of the accounting information furnished in the form of financial statements at the end of the financial year. It is the statement which describes the flow of cash and cash equivalents in and out the organization. The statement is helpful to the stakeholders or say interested parties, in learning about the sources and uses of the company’s cash during a particular financial year, from different activities.
