How it's used
Refers specifically to the professional who designs buildings and produces blueprints. While the term is understood by everyone, it is slightly more traditional or colloquial compared to the more common loanword 則師, which is the standard professional title used in Hong Kong construction and real estate circles.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 畫家, which means a painter or artist. Using 畫則 when you mean someone who paints pictures will cause confusion.
