That is totally different from alarm work.  Architecture
is a profession.  Alarm installing is a trade and a
relatively simple one at that.

Without an architect to design it you probably
wouldn't have built anything at all.  However, there
are architectural firms that offer standardized church
plans for people who don't want to pay for a custom
design.

The same would apply if you needed cancer surgery.
You would hire a doctor -- not do it yourself.  OTOH,
if all you had was a splinter you'd DIY it like everyone
else does.

Alarm installation is to architecture as splinter
removal is to surgery.
